FINDING NATURE’S TREASURES 
“I think it is lonesome and wants to get back to its 
mother/’ said Uncle Jack. 
Marylee put it on Mother Opossum near the pocket. 
It quickly found the pocket and crawled inside with its 
brothers and sisters. Uncle Jack then laid Mother Opos¬ 
sum on the ground, and he and the children went off 
through the woods. They looked back to see what Mother 
Opossum was doing. She was walking off toward the 
brush with her babies.
