A very moving story
 

The royal palace guardsman was summarily removed from his post because he moved.

"Did you move?" demanded his superior.

"Yes sir" answered the guardsman.

"And what was the reason for this inexcusable behavior?"

"Sir, it started when I noticed squirrels scurrying through the branches of the tree across the road from the palace gate.
And one squirrel ran straight toward me..."

"Is that when you moved?"

"No sir... but then the squirrel ran right up inside the leg of my uniform!"

"Is that when you moved?"

"No sir...but then another squirrel ran toward me and went right up my other leg!"

"Is that when you moved?"

"No sir...not until I heard one of them say "let's eat one now and save the other one for winter".
