because we are bachelors and we can
help each other"
But the real reason was that Mr. Coon
knew that MIR. Postum had some new tin
spoons and all the Coon family love shiny
things. He thought hc might be- able To
slip ono or two tin spoons into his pocket
and never he found out, because there
would be so many guests that MIR Possum
would moi know which one To suspect when
he found IL out.
Mr.. PosAirn WAS delighted To do as Mr..
Coon suggested, and they began making
ont list of guests tn be invited
OF course, there were MIR Fox and MIR
Squirrel and Jack Rabbit and Mr.. Owl,
who were nil bachelors like themselves, So
they decided they would not ask any Of
the married folks, but call It n bachelor
party
"Old James Crow, who lives IN the tree
near me, will think he should be invited,

he is such a auarrelsomc old fellow hate
