"What's your name?" asked Aria.

 

"Sandy!" he replied.

"Do you have a job?" Aria asked.

 

"Sure!" Sandy replied, eagerly. "Just before winter, we all work very hard to gather nuts to store inside of that hole before the freezing winter weather comes  to be sure we have enough to last through the winter."
