A Conversation with a Young Chipmunk

I went out to see what was happening in the garden and spotted a young chipmunk sitting on the stone wall.  I asked him if he was having a nice day and he turned towards me and said, "Yes, thank you."  I moved closer.  "Are you glad the Back Porch Cafe is open again?"   "Quite glad," he replied.  "Have you seen Ratty about?"  "Not a tail or a whisker." he answered.  (I was quite happy to hear that.) "Are you happy with your rock wall condo accommodations?" I quired. "Most satisfactory," he assured me.  "Well, enjoy your afternoon," I said and off he scampered.  Best conversation I've had in a while
