''The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes'' is a Creator/BeatrixPotter story about a pair of level-headed squirrels, Timmy and his wife Goody. They work hard storing up nuts for winter, but when the other squirrels get the mistaken impression that the two are stealing their nuts, they capture Timmy and imprison him in the very same hollow tree that he was using for nut storage. There, he befriends an irresponsible Chipmunk and the two gentlemen pass a fortnight together in the tree trunk until a storm blows it down and Timmy goes home with Goody.

!This story provides examples of:

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: That hollow trunk was a great hiding place — the other squirrels couldn't get in, and Timmy couldn't get out.
* TorchesAndPitchforks: The angry squirrel mob who throw Timmy into the hollow tree, though they don't have any torches or pitchforks.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The little bird singing about stolen nuts. It was just a nonsense song, but the squirrels took it seriously.
* WomenAreWiser: Goody always suspected the hollow tree would prove to be an impractical storage space, since the entrance was so high up.
