The New Squirrel

The New Squirrel tape 1, 2 and 3 are three holodisks in Fallout 4. Storytime Simon seems to be telling a story from past experiences. He retells a story in the form a fable. A fable being a story with a lesson. In the story, a squirrel named Ricky is with his family when a different looking squirrel comes to his families home. Ricky lets in this new squirrel into their home in spite of the warnings from his elders. Later Ricky learns that the squirrel led cats to his home and he and all his family die from the cats. The moral of the story being not to trust outsiders and to listen to your elders.

Due to the ominous music in the background as well as the violent nature of this fable, it is believed that the story actually happened in the Commonwealth. Storytime Simon may be the actual survivor of this massacre that happened to his village. The village is located somewhere in City Park. Simon is actually Ricky from the story and maybe let an outsider into his village. The outsider was secretly working with a group of hostile raiders who later killed everyone in his village. Simon has decided to record his story as means of a fable to warn others to avoid doing this.

Location
They can be found at Fiddler's Green Trailer Estates.

Behind the scenes
Storytime Simon seems to be inspired by the real-life Teddy Ruxpin, the animatronic talking bear of the mid-1980's. Teddy Ruxpin told stories via audio cassettes inserted into its back and all three of "The New Squirrel" holotapes are each found near a teddy bear. Storytime Simon's speech pattern sounds similar to Teddy Ruxpin's and he also starts with a greeting that includes his name, like Teddy Ruxpin did in the television commercials.
