Jellyfish and Squirrels

I once found a dead jellyfish in the ocean with my brother.
We dug out a hole in the sand and filled it with water.
We spent the next two hours trying to revive it.
We kept the water fresh and flowing.
We gave it pieces of food.
And plenty of sunlight.
It stayed dead.
Zuzu, the squirrel.
Was a baby squirrel.
It's mother was killed by a cat.
My brother brought him home in his shoe.
He was weak and he hadn't even opened his eyes.
We nursed him back to health to try and make the night.
We were going to call animal control to save his life.
The offices were closed and so we waited.
We researched and gave him food.
We kept him warm and cozy.
He looked very healthy.
He died in the morn.
Ups and downs.
