Why did the farmer let the little squirrel go?

But Aka told him that if he got along well with the small animals in the forest and fields and made friends with them, they would help him and protect him when he was in danger. So I let the squirrel go.

A Journey to the Goose (the first and second parts of The Suit) is a long fairy tale written by Lagrov for children. It is a school geography education book written according to the requirements of the Swedish Ministry of Education, but it has later become a treasure of world literature and art.

Niels, the hero of this fairy tale, is a 14-year-old boy from a village in southern Sweden. He is lazy, doesn't like studying, likes playing pranks and bullying small animals. One day, because he played a trick on the little fox fairy, he was turned into a thumb-sized villain and suddenly understood animal language. At this time, a flock of geese flying from the north flew over the sky. A male goose of Niels' family wanted to fly away. Niels tried to stop the goose, but it was taken into the air by the goose. From then on, he started a strange air roaming with geese as mounts and geese as companions.
