Mr.Townson told us about a mother skunk that had two beautiful baby boy skunks. She called one baby skunk "In" and the other baby skunk she called "Out". It was a shame that somehow she got the names reversed.

   In loved to smell flowers, walk in the rain, and he never stayed inside when he could be outside playing in the sun, rain, or snow. Out never left the house. He would sleep all night, eat, and then go back and sleep some more.

   One day mother skunk had to go visit an old sick friend so she called for her babies. Out, who was in, went to his mother’s side, and In was nowhere to be found for he had gone out again. 

   Mother skunk told Out to go find In and bring him in so she could go out. Out went out to find In and in less than a minute Out returned with In. You found In quite quickly,” mother praised Out;
“It was really easy,”  Out told his mother, “In stinked."
