"AND DID ROLL OFF THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, SURE ENOUGH"
"I SET OUT FOR HOME WITHOUT WAITING TO SAY GOOD-BYE"
CAME CLATTERING DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF MR. DOG
SO THEN MR. DOG TRIED TO GET MR. 'POSSUM ON HIS SHOULDER
HE WAS AN OLD BACHELOR AND LIKED TO HAVE HIS OWN WAY
THEY SAW MR. CROW OUT IN THE YARD CUTTING WOOD FOR HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW
HAD TO STAY AT HOME AND PEEL POTATOES
LISTENED NOW AND THEN AT WIDOW CROW'S DOOR TO BE SURE SHE WAS ASLEEP
MR. 'POSSUM SAID HE'D JUST GET ON AND HOLD THE THINGS
MR. FOX SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO FOR A FEW MINUTES AND HE'D ACT AS JUDGE
SAILING ALONG, JUST TOUCHING THE HIGHEST POINTS
AWAY WENT MR. TORTOISE, CLEAR OVER THE TOP RAIL
SET OUT FOR HOME BY A BACK WAY
TRIED TO SPLICE HIS PROPERTY BACK IN PLACE
GRANDFATHER WOULD LIGHT HIS PIPE AND THINK IT OVER
SET UP HIS EARS AND WENT BY, LICKETY-SPLIT
"'GLAD TO SEE YOU,' SAID KING LION; 'I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT HAVING A NICE RABBIT FOR BREAKFAST'"
GOT AROUND THE TABLE AND BEGAN TO WORK
MR. 'POSSUM WANTED TO KNOW WHAT MR. RABBIT MEANT BY SPINNING THEIR TAILS
MR. DOG SAID HE HAD MADE A FEW SKETCHES
MR. 'POSSUM SAID IT MIGHT BE A GOOD ENOUGH STORY, BUT IT COULDN'T BE TRUE
SO THEN MR. RABBIT SAID THEY MUST CHOOSE WHO WOULD BE "IT"
MR. 'POSSUM HAD TO PUT ON THE HANDKERCHIEF AND DO MORE EXERCISING THAN ANY OF THEM
WOULD FIND IT ON THE MANTEL-SHELF OR PERHAPS ON MR. CROW'S BALD HEAD
MR. 'POSSUM SAID HE HADN'T MEANT ANYTHING AT ALL BY WHAT HE HAD SAID ABOUT THE STORY
AND SO THIS CAT GREW RICH AND FAT
