Flora is a who expects the worst from the world. So when a squirrel disappears into a roaring vacuum cleaner, she does not stand by as a helpless — she rushes outside. The poor creature lies and still on the lawn, soggy and scrawny. Flora kneels down and works to him. At last a faint of life returns to his eyes. Then the squirrel does something truly : he lifts the heavy vacuum cleaner clean over his head.
