A short story with moral for kids authored by Abbie Phillips Walker.

Lazy Gray was the youngest in his family. His mother thought he was the prettiest and hence did not ask him to do errands or to climb trees or carry out any other tasks that most squirrels have to do. So, Lazy Gray took advantage of the kindness of his family. He used to ask them to wait on him. When lazy got thirsty and wanted to drink water, He would call his mother or make his brothers go on long journeys through the woods to get a particular kind of nuts. Before the fall, his mother asked him to collect enough nuts for himself to survive but he did not pay any attention and would go to sleep again. Even before the mid-winter, all his store was exhausted and he had nothing left to eat. Then he asked his mother to let him have some of the nuts that she had gathered, but she still had to keep some for his sick brothers. At a point, she denied giving him any more nuts. So, he decided to beg nuts from the other squirrels. Soon the squirrels started hating him for his behavior.
