OK, i have a problem. how do you get the little flamethrower squirrel across the water on the swimming turtles back without killing it, dropping it into the water and kiling it, running into a spike and dropping it into the water and killing it, or getting burned and killing it. please help me.

Ok, first do everything without taking the squirel with you. Destroy all enemies and break all blocks, then go back to the turtle and take the squirel with you. See? Easy, ain't it?
