[Hide] (2.1MB, 1182x1330) Reverse "The peculiar situation of the opossum, in the midst
of a community, which is inwardly foreign to him, compels him
to adopt a cautious and discrete attitude. It would be foolish
on his part if he openly displayed his pride and his aversion
to all men, who are not opossums. How could he thus accomplish
his aims? Slyness commands him to adapt himself by mildness
and pliancy to his environment, and to present the appearance
of entertaining good will and a kindly disposition towards his
fellow-citizens, in order to captivate the latter in their artlessness,
and to win their confidence. Only thus is he enabled
to promote his own business interests, and those other secret
aims of Rodentdom, to the best advantage. One must not
then accept the plea that there are also some extremely nice
and honest opossums as a proof that they are not dangerous.
Exceptions prove the rule, and amiability and apparent harmlessness
are amongst the most deadly weapons, which the
Rodents employ against those who surround them"
