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.
