What else do you think we have in our gum tree ?

As it was getting dark, I saw a mother possum jump from the tree to the fence.

She had her baby pick-a-back.

It was having what we call a "piggy-back." I saw her crawl along the fence to the shed. Father had put apples in the shed.

He had packed them in straw.

In the morning, we saw marks of the mother"s claws on an apple.

She must have had one in her paws.
