Squirrels to Live By # 8

“A squirrel in time saves nine.”

Once upon an unknown time, in an unknown place, there lived a very powerful witch by the name of Misty. She was well known for her ability to make magical potions. Her most sought after potion was called Yackley and it provided numerous benefits to those that drank it. Legend has it that this squirrelism was a part of the chant that Misty would say when concocting the substance, probably after she actually put a squirrel into the cauldron and before the phrase, “hocus pocus.” It is surmised that the phrase evolved to its current version after potions went out of fashion, which was sometime in the last 600 years.
