A squirrel has been making people in Finland very happy this summer. He has been turning up daily at a supermarket for chocolate eggs. But now he has been banned from the store.
The manager of the SIWA supermarket in Jyvaskyla, a city of 85,000 people in Finland, used to allow the squirrel to come into his store. Every day the squirrel ran through the front door and went to the candy section.
He loved to take a kind of chocolate egg that has a little plastic toy inside. After grabbing it, he would run outdoors to enjoy the candy.
Now the squirrel will have to go without the tasty treats.
"It's a decision of the health authorities. The door of the store has remained open all summer, but now it will be shut," an employee at the supermarket said.
Amused customers had been paying for the goodies out of their own pockets.
