Pet a squirrel

I was 7 or 8 at the time, I think. My brother and I were at the playground and I had a piece of apple in my hand. a squirrel hops down from the tree above and starts sniffing for food. I let the squirrel have a bite of the apple, and I reached out to pet its tail.

It was so soft and light!

For a brief moment, the squirrel turned around to look at me, probably confuzzled. And that was it.
