'Possum's family had been gifted in that peculiar way, and by and by, when he woke up, and stretched, and moved back in the shade, and leaned against a stump to smoke, they asked him. Mr. 'Possum said it was a very old story, because it had happened about a hundred and fifty-six great-grandfathers back.
Then he told Prickly Porky all about the plan he had overheard, how Reddy Fox and Shadow the Weasel and Blacky the Crow were to hide near Unc' Billy Possum's hollow tree, and how Sammy Jay was to frighten away everybody else by pretending that Bowser the Hound was coming. "Have you told Peter Rabbit?" asked Prickly Porky. "Not yet, but I'm going to, by and by," replied old Mr. Toad.
Possum's house they all went. Now it happened that they began to sing, when they all sat down to the table, that they all were jolly good fellows and something about being single was a life of bliss, and another about poor married man, and they made so much noise that they awoke old James Crow, who was sound asleep in his bed.
'Possum's track to the place, and in a little while he had the fine, fat chicken, and came home with it and showed it to the patient, who had a sinking spell when he looked at it, and turned his face to the wall and said he seemed to have lived in vain. Mr.
The 'goanna a most loathsome-looking lizard can climb trees, and is very fond of raiding the 'possum's home when the young are there. Between the men who want its coat and the 'goannas who want its young the 'possum is fast being exterminated. Two other characteristic Australian animals you should know about.

I found him hovering about my luggage, wedging my dressing-case securely upright by means of my little automatic rifle.
But Buddy took a long stick, and he filled his pockets with stones, and he made up his mind he would throw them at the fox if he saw him. The little guinea pig boy went on, and on, through the woods, toward Dr. Possum's home, and, after a while, he was not so frightened as he had been at first. Then, all of a sudden, as he was passing a big, black bush, he heard a funny noise.
One day, when Sammie Littletail was on his way home from Dr. Possum's house, where he had gone to get some sweet-flag root, for Uncle Wiggily Longear's rheumatism, something happened to the little boy rabbit. He was coming through a big field, where the grass was quite high, when he heard a little bark.
"I'll go for the medicine myself," Nurse Jane said, and, tying her tail up in a double bow-knot, so she would not step on it, and trip, as she hurried along, over to Dr. Possum's she went. The doctor was just starting out to go to see Nannie Wagtail, the little goat girl, who had the hornache, but before going there Dr.
"En down ter dis day" continued Uncle Remus, watching the smoke from his pipe curl upward over the little boy's head "down ter dis day, Brer Possum's bound ter s'render w'en you tech him in de short ribs, en he'll laugh ef he knows he's gwineter be smashed fer it."
