Possum in August

A few days ago late in the evening just after dark, a young inquisitive possum ventured near where I live.   I quietly gathered my gnarled, twisty vine cane, found my electric torch and sought him out to corner him.   This I did and  poked him gently as he hissed and snarled and ran under  large brush nearby.   I looked for him further but lost him in the night.    I had no evil intent just a teaching moment.
For both he and I that lifes little moments of interaction should instruct us in how to live---for me, and for him how to stay alive by avoiding humans.
