Dan and Fran skunk had to have a bigger home. They were living under a shed but had to have more room for their baby skunks.

On a dark summer night, Dan and Fran went all over the forest looking for a new home. With the moon, they could see their way through the dense forest. Fran turned to Dan and said, “We have to have a home for Pete, Rose, and Gale.”

The moon shone on an old


cabin by a lake. “What luck!” said Dan. They could see that no person lived in the cabin. Fran said, “I like the big porch. The kits will be safe under here.”

Dan could see a farm from the porch. He turned to Fran and said, “I think we will have a lot of food for the children with that farm. A lot of pests will be in the corn.”

The five skunks left the shed and made a home under the porch by the lake and corn patch. The kits will live there until they are big!
