　　Welcome to Words and Their Stories. Today, we are going to talk about "autumn". Autumn is also called "fall". This is probably because it is the time when trees lose their leaves and they fall to the ground.

　　However, even earlier, the season was called "harvest". In the early days of the United States, autumn was a time for preparing for the winter months by collecting and preserving food. People gathered corn, nuts and berries. They also dried and salted meats to feed themselves through the long, cold winter.

　　To prepare for the winter months, some animals gather food. The squirrel(松鼠) , is well known for its skill in this activity. Squirrels gather and store seeds and nuts in their nests. This activity helps them survive the winter, and it also gives us a common expression.

　　To "squirrel something away" means to save it for future use. We often use this expression when talking about money and food. For example, a child might squirrel away his chocolate, hiding it from brothers and sisters. This guarantees the child can satisfy his sweet tooth at any time.
