Flash Fiction #571 -- Pixie Myths/4


 The pixies settled into their hollow as the wind howled, but they were safe from the storm.


Then they heard a cry of distress.


"Mother Possum lost two children!"


It wasn't unusual for Mother Possum to lose a young one or two while they foraged for food. The little ones couldn't keep up with her. 


The pixies flew into the dangerous storm and found them.  Daisy Pixie had an idea, though.  She set the young on Mother Possum's fur and told them to hold on. It worked so well that baby possums have held to their mother's fur ever since.
