his eyes and clung to his whiskers. Unc' Billy shook his head in
disgust.

"Ah don' see anything but mo' snow, and yo' know Ah don' like snow!"
he said. "What yo' driving at, Brer Squirrel?"

Happy Jack laughed. "Why, it's just as simple as can be, Unc' Billy!"
he cried. "Just as soon as it's dark, you start for home. It's going
to snow all night, and in the morning there won't be any tracks. The
snowflakes will have covered them all up."

Unc' Billy grinned. "Ah believe yo' are right, Brer Squirrel, Ah
believe yo' are right!" said Unc' Billy.

And Happy Jack was right, for Unc' Billy got safely home that very
night, and the next morning, when Farmer Brown's boy visited the Green
Forest, there wasn't a footprint to be seen anywhere.

So Unc' Billy Possum learned how easy it is to get into trouble and
how hard to get out of it. But he isn't the only one who has found
this out. Just ask Unc' Billy's particular friend, Mistah Mocker the
Mocking Bird. He will tell you the very same thing. He and Unc' Billy
have been in all kinds of scrapes together, and if you care to read
about some of them, you may do so in the next book--The Adventures of
Mistah Mocker.
