Have you heard this story?

[Susan Fonseca <sfonseca@MINET.GOV.MB.CA>]

A Grade Eight teacher in our school is concerned that one of his students
has handed in a short story which he has plagerized.  It is the story of a
young boy in Texas during the hot summer months of July and August.  The
family would like an airconditioner but can't afford one.  So their windows
are open.  Suddenly things begin to mysteriously disappear.  Mom's car
keys, money off his brother's dresser, his "shooter" marbles, Mom's
jewellery, and finally the house key.  He happens to see a furry tail
disappearing out an upstairs window and realizes that a squirrel has been
stealing all these things and eventually climbs up and recovers everything
from the tree outside the house.

Any chance that any of you have read this short story or something very similar?

We'd appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Susan
