A Visit From Oscar: A Short Story About A Neighborhood Possum

If you ever dealt with a possum making the rounds of your neighborhood late at night, this story is sure to make you laugh!

"Such barking, such endless yapping barking from a dog that usually holds his peace unless he is unduly troubled can only mean one thing. It is our turn to be honored by a visit from Oscar the 'possum. Oscar is what you'd call a shadowy figure. He never does come out where you can see him in broad daylight, like birds and squirrels and other creatures do. I don't know if it's because he doesn't like the looks of us or he thinks we wouldn't like the looks of him. Or maybe he's just too shy to come right up and introduce himself."
