Info

Perri ran as fast as she could across one beautiful patch of grass after another. Each one was covered with colorful leaves and had a big house and a garage behind it. Perri raced to the nearest hiding place she could find—an open basement window. She jumped through the window and landed in a soft, warm pile. It felt as cozy as her underground den back home. She listened for the sound of danger, but everything was quiet, warm, and still. Soon Perri fell asleep. 11
12 Perri woke up just in time to feel the cozy soft pile pulled from around her. Once again, Perri lay completely still. “Oh, look!” said a woman. “Mrs. Hartwig left some lovely old clothes for the rummage sale—and look at this beautiful fur hat!” The woman lifted Perri into the air—and put the possum on her head! “The ladies at the rummage sale will be so envious,” said the woman as she picked up the pile of clothes and headed out. As the woman strolled down the street, Perri kept still. All around her, she saw people staring and pointing. Soon a small crowd of people surrounded the woman. “Why in the world must you people stare at my hat?” the woman demanded. “It isn’t a hat!” a little boy said. “That’s a possum—and I think it’s alive.” The woman screeched. Perri leapt from the woman’s head, dodged through a narrow opening in the crowd, and skittered down the street. No more playing dead today!
