The Clash with Robin and Squirrel

Such violations could sometimes result in injury or death.

But against her own feelings of discomfort, Robin launches out and trusts Squirrel. These incidents take place in the surroundings of an old gentleman, Mr. Gilbert, who kept a watchful eye on his garden in his struggle to keeps the animals away from getting his seed.
