Unc’ Billy Possum came proudly down the Lone Little Path through the Green Forest toward the big hollow tree, which he had made his home. Peter Rabbit was the first to see him coming. Peter hurried to meet him, for you know that Peter had prepared a surprise party to greet Unc’ Billy and his family. When Unc’ Billy Possum saw all the little meadow and forest people gathered there to greet him and all the good things they had brought to eat he was as surprised as Peter had hoped he would be. But Unc’ Billy didn’t show it. Oh, my, no! Unc’ Billy never lets on that he is surpirised at anything— he just grinned and grinned, as only Unc’ Billy Bossum can grin. “What you-alls doin’ at mah hol- how tree?” demanded Unc” Billy grinning more broadly than ever. “It's & surprise party for you and your family,” said Peter Rabbit. “We though that Mrs. Possum and the children would be hungry, so every one has brought something to eat.

Unc’ Billy grinned even more broadly than he had before. “Ah done left ’em back a piece so as to see if the road was clear, Ah'll go and ‘fetch them.” So Unc’ Billy turned back along the Lone Little Path, hurrying as fast as he could go, and everybody gathered close around his hollow tree and watched to see his family arrive. Pretty soon they saw him coming back down the Lone Little Path, and behind him eame old £ J 55 J‘::w BIRTHDAY To You, HAPPY BIRTHDAY To You, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR CLARENCE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mrs. Possum. She looked so much like Unc’ Billy that Johnny Chuck giggled right out loud. Her gown was just as thin and just as rumpled as Unc’ Billy’s old suit. Her face was just as sharp and just as crafty as Unc’ Billy’s. But while Unc’ Billy was grinning old Mrs. Possum had never a smile; in fact, Mrs. looked cross. She looked cross that Peter Rabbit forgot all the nice things he had planned to say to her.

Now, every one had thought that Unc’ Billy Possum had a big family, and when they saw no one but old Mrs. Possum looking so cross they didn’t know what to make of it, but every one was too polite to ask any questions. Each came up in turn and was introduced by Unc’ Billy. Mrs. Possum just grunted to each one until Jimmy Skunk came along.
