A Large Family. 



We all have heard of the old woman 

 who lived in a shoe and there kept a 

 large number of children. Here is a 

 counterpart. A mother opossum lives 

 in a small packing box and has so many 

 young 'possums that she really does not 

 know what to do with them. As our 

 scientific friends know, the opossum 

 is a marsupial animal and cares for 

 her young in a pouch on the underside 

 of her body.
