Up in the Sky

Once Rabbit, not Squirrel, was the one with the bushy tail. But Squirrel tricked him – and this is how.Rafiki

How Squirrel got his Tail is a story from the Rafiki Remembers magazine collection. It was published in the 1990s as part of The Lion King: A Nature Fun and Learn Series.

Synopsis

Squirrel is eager to borrow Rabbit's tail, but his friend is afraid that he will look silly without his magnificent tail. Determined to try it on, Squirrel asks again, and Rabbit begrudgingly concedes. Now adorned with a beautiful, red tail, Squirrel is praised by the other animals, who marvel at his beauty.

By the end of the week, Squirrel has grown so fond of his tail that he resolves to never give it back to Rabbit. So when Rabbit arrives at Squirrel's house, accusing him of thievery, Squirrel scurries up a tree and dares Rabbit to come up and take the tail himself. Knowing he is beat, Rabbit sulks away and decides to hide himself among the rocks for the rest of his life.
