Though life for animals in nature much better than in captivity, mother nature does its thing - keeps the balance between life and death. Our heroine - once a very pretty reddish squirrel in his old age became quite blind and clumsy, and now can not feed herself well, and her kids have become quite mature and fled to different parts of a vast forest. Have pity on the poor thing, take her nut, so that she could somehow stifle a two-day hunger!
