Gus and Trudy are very confused. They were told by Mrs. O herself, that she and the little opossums were currently taking up residence in the burrow under the shed. Gus had been there and had seen them in the burrow - with his own eyes!
But today Trudy had gone to the burrow to introduce herself to Mrs. O and the opossum babies and who did she run into? Rosie the groundhog! Rosie coming out from the burrow under the shed. Trudy had followed Rosie into Elaine's garden. That Rosie was out of control eating all of Elaine's sweet peas, green beans and kidney beans! She had even taken to digging up the onions and eating them!
Trudy tried screeching and flying around Rosie's head to chase her away - but she just kept on nibbling everything.
When she was done she ran right back to the shed and the burrow underneath it.
Trudy flew over to Gus to report what she had seen. Gus couldn't believe it.
"You know I was just in the burrow visiting Mrs.O - how can Rosie be in there now?"
Trudy hooted, still clearly upset from her encounter with Rosie in the garden, "I don't know what is going on here Gus - but Rosie is behaving very badly. She knows better than to go into Elaine's garden and eat the vegetables. And she knows that the Opossum family is living under the shed. What is she up to?"
What is Rosie up to, indeed?
