Well the double headed squirel friendly version would be giving it peanuts you got on the plane
k: You can still see the squirel later on.
Yes there are several ways to do something (like waking up the bus driver, or getting the stuff back if you're caught). Actually waking the driver up (or getting rid of the squirel) just let you use mulitple tools and there aren't many such puzzles with this game. Once you get use to the idea and the mood of the game - everything will seem logical (parachute out of a byplane to escape getting captured by aliens and incidentally find Atlantis in the process).
