Move over Bre'r Rabbit, there's a new trickster in town!
When hungry Deer asks Possum how he stays so plump during the long dry
season, the sly marsupial gets an idea. It wouldn't take much for Possum
to help Deer; he could just climb that ol' persimmon tree and knock down
the fruit. But Possum is just plain lazy and he'd rather trick Deer into
doing the work for both of them. Once Possum decides to take advantage
of his starving neighbor they both become marked forever.
