More patter, then another comedy lecture about possums, showing various shots of a mother possum with babies clinging to her back; other possums runs over a man's hand and a boy's head. A dog sniffs the mother possum, covered with babies; she snaps at him. The dog is seen with some baby possums on his back; he then shakes them off. Back to
