Abstract
I had heard of this story frequently, and so I am happy to read it at last. It is a story that dramatizes politeness especially by its absence in Squirrel Nutkin, who torments Old Mr. Brown, the owl overseer of the squirrels' favorite island. After too many insults, Old Mr. Brown catches Squirrel Nutkin by the tail, the tail he had used as a sail for getting to the island. Nutkin breaks away from Mr. Brown's fierce grasp only at the cost of losing most of his tail. Children, be as polite as those other squirrels, and do not be like Squirrel Nutkin!
