Lesson 21:Perri Plays Possum

14
Perri rocketed past the rummage sale. She zipped
past Tanner’s garage. She zoomed past the park
where she’d escaped from the garbage truck.
She didn’t slow down until she arrived back in
her own familiar meadow.
Familiar scents filled her possum snout. Perri
trotted down the forest path, hardly noticing the
colorful leaves.
Soon Perri was home.
“Mama!” she squealed, and she buried herself in
her mother’s warm, cuddly fur.
Playing dead was an adventure.
But being alive was much better!
