Scrat the sabre-toothed squirrel was a creature that lived about 20,000 years ago during the days of the Ice Age, surviving the unmercifully cold climates and dodging danger of all varieties on a constant, everyday basis. Scrat's primary goal in life was to find a place to stow his beloved acorn, an acorn that Scrat was more than just a little attached to, risking life and limb to attain it.One of Scrat's adventures began when he had obtained a vast stockpile of acorns, kept in a great hollowed-out stump at the very top of some mountains. After much a to-do of storing hundreds, nay thousands of nuts, Scrat had obtained one last nut to be put in with the others, but no matter how much he pushed the acorn in with the others (as all of the acorns were tightly packed into this stump), it would not fit, and so Scrat was forced to stomp it in. Eventually, all of the acorns were forced out (along with Scrat) and expelled all over the land below, with one last acorn jetting back to Earth with the force of a guided missile: squarely on Scrat, who had just fallen from the sky into the ground. This blow cracked the land apart and made the pieces become the continents we see today. Scrat was left out in the middle of what remained of the land: a small patch of rock far out to sea and the acorn that he was left with was the very acorn that struck him: due to the blast, the acorn was burnt to a crisp and Scrat was left with nothing.Some time later, Scrat was again in the mountain range (with yet another acorn) and was looking for a place to stow it. When Scrat tried to force it into the frozen ground, the acorn would not fit and so Scrat tried to jam it in, only to drive the icy terrain to crack this way and that, starting an avalanche. Scrat was now caught in the path of some giant glaciers and barely made it out alive, getting caught in the glaciers and shot out into a valley below, where Scrat and his precious acorn landed and as Scrat was about to leave, acorn in paw, he was stomped on by a woolly mammoth, followed by a brontothere, another mammoth, a dodo, and was finally stuck on the foot of a litoptern: all migrating animals for the migrations to head south away from the Ice Ages were underway; hundreds of these animals and many more were migrating south.Scrat had managed to pry himself loose from the litoptern's foot and take his acorn with him to a hollowed out tree, where he would stow the acorn for sure. But as he tried to stow the acorn, a bolt of lightning struck him and he had lost the acorn again. At this point, Scrat's sole option was to keep going north where no animals could harm either him or his beloved acorn and no lightning could strike him.Shortly after this, Scrat found a hollow tree in which to hide his acorn, which was almost taken and eaten by a passing ground sloth. Scrat rushed down onto the scene and snatched his acorn away, angry at this inconvenience.On his way up north, Scrat encountered a mammoth, a sloth and a sabre-toothed cat, the three of which had formed an alliance and had a human baby in tow so as to return it to its family. The mammoth, Manfred, asked Scrat if he had seen any humans go by (the baby's family). Scrat had seen no humans go by that way, but he had seen something else: a pack of sabre-toothed cats, which were allies with the sabre-tooth that stood before him. The sabre-tooth noticed this and quickly flicked Scrat away before he could reveal more.On and on further north Scrat went, trying to find a spot to conceal his beloved acorn and on the way ran into so many troubles; at one point he was lost in a honeycomb of icy tunnels and at another had run into a rock wall with an acorn painted on, thinking it to be his acorn. Scrat was re-united with his acorn in time and tried to thaw it out (as it was frozen in an ice cube), but the acorn popped into a kernel of popcorn.After this trouble, Scrat had the good fortune to find three acorns embedded in a sheet of ice, but a fat man with glasses appeared on the scene and admonished Scrat, insisting that those were his nuts . Scrat promptly leapt onto the fat man, attacking him.20,000 years later, Scrat was frozen in a block of ice that drifted out to sea, still pursuing an acorn (also frozen inside). The block of ice washed up on a tropical island, where it thawed out and left poor Scrat with no acorn as the acorn had thawed out and washed out to sea. In a fury, Scrat ran to a nearby palm tree and began ramming his head furiously. The motion jarred a coconut from the tree loose; Scrat now had an even better prize than the first. He went on his way to stow the coconut into the ground and found a good spot, but the ground was too hard, so Scrat stomped and stomped on the coconut. It finally went into the ground, but this time, it caused a chain reaction that cracked the land just as had happened 20,000 years back. The cracking apart caused a volcano on this island to erupt, and Scrat could do nothing but chuckle weakly at his predicament. Show less «
