Transcript
Panel 1: A little red squirrel in a moss-green scarf stands on a stool at the ghost librarian's desk, offering one acorn on an open paw.
Squirrel: "Sorry I'm late."
Panel 2: The ghost looks kindly puzzled at the acorn, with a plain closed book beside it.
Ghost librarian: "A book?"
Panel 3: The squirrel points through the arched window towards the library's broad shady oak tree. A tiny empty squirrel picnic blanket sits under its shade.
Squirrel: "You lent me shade."
Panel 4: In the library garden, the ghost and squirrel gently plant the acorn in a small pot of earth beside the oak. The ghost smiles at the little gift.
Ghost librarian: "Interest received."
