My sister went last year and said she’d never seen such rowdiness. Said a fight broke out between two possums, and one gal, the wife of one or the other, got pushed onto a stump and knocked out four teeth. And they were pretty ones too, none of this yellowness you find on most things that eat trash.” The cat shuddered. “No,” she said. “This is just a little get-together, a few friends. That type of thing.” “Will there be food?” the baboon asked."
