BUSTER MAKES A FRIEND
It was a dark night. The moon was behind the clouds and the stars were hidden. Only a few owls and other prowlers were out hunting for food. A young bear stirred in his cave. He crept silently out of the cave into the night.
He crept silently out of the cave and into the night
“ Hello! What are you up to?” said a voice. The young bear jumped and peered around but couldn’ t see a thing.
“ Up here,” said the voice.“ I am on the branch above your head.” The young bear looked up and saw a pair of large eyes and a white patch that was whisking back and forth.
Suddenly the moon came out from behind the clouds and the young bear could see a small dark brown creature with big eyes and a long tail with a white tip at the end.
“ Hi,” said the creature.“ My name is Patrick. I’ m a possum and I come from Melbourne in Australia.” He was a very talkative little possum.
