Possum Baby was afraid. Inside his mother's pouch he had felt snug and secure, surrounded by his nine brothers and sisters. Now he shivered. The cold wind swept across him and an owl hooted far off in the night. But soon a fierce animal came leaping toward him and Possum Baby discovered his own natural way of defending himself--without fighting back!
