	Source: Myths and Tales of the Southeastern Indians, By John R. Swanton, 1929 The Raccoon met the Opossum, and the Opossum said: "How did you make such pretty rings on your tail_" The Raccoon replied: "I wrapped bark around my tail and stuck it into the fire." Then the Opossum got some bark, wrapped it around his tail, which then had hair on it, and built a fire. He stuck his tail into the fire and burned all of the hair off and ever since then opossums have had no hair on their tails.		Free Download
