In a delightful twist of nature’s comedy, Central Park has become the stage for what locals are calling “The Great Squirrel Heist.” Over the past week, a group of particularly crafty squirrels has been spotted executing elaborate schemes to steal acorns from unsuspecting picnickers.
Witnesses report seeing one squirrel distract a family by performing acrobatics on a nearby tree while its accomplice made off with a bag of nuts. “I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was like watching a heist movie unfold in real life,” said park-goer Tom Jenkins, who captured the antics on video.
In a related story, a local bakery has decided to embrace the chaos by launching a new pastry: the “Squirrel Surprise,” a nut-filled treat that pays homage to the furry bandits. “We thought, why not celebrate their cleverness?” said bakery owner Lisa Chen. “After all, they’re just trying to survive in this big city!”
As the squirrel saga continues, one thing is clear: Central Park is not just a haven for humans but also a playground for our four-legged friends. So, the next time you visit, keep an eye on your snacks – you never know when a squirrel might be plotting its next move!
