This is one very LUCKY possum, you all can guess by simply looking at the pictures. For the first time in a long time, I tried to start my lawnmower to mow the yard since the rain caused the grass to grow. To make a long story short, I pulled on the starter cord once and it almost started, but it did not start. I pulled about five more times and it still did not start. Then I stared at the lawnmower and I took off my hat and long sleeve shirt because I knew something was very wrong since it is a brand new lawnmower. So a pulled five more times and then five more times and nothing happened. The lawnmower was in the front yard ready to go.
But now I pushed it to the backyard because I was really confused as to what in the heck was happening or happened to my brand new lawnmower. So I pulled five more times - nothing happened. I pulled five more times, nothing happened. I changed or replaced the gas and pulled again - nothing happened.
That is when I tipped the lawnmower over and I looked at the bottom for some unknown reason. Then I saw it, the night creature staring at me from the grass catcher. The possum did not even try to leave because he must have liked his new home of warmth and protection. I put on my gloves and removed the bag so it could leave the bag which is what it did very quickly.
Guess what? On the very first try of pulling on the starter cord, the lawnmower started right up. No joke!
I was thinking to myself what would have happened if that lawnmower had started up with the possum in the bag if it tried to get out. I looked up to the sky and I said out loud, "Someone or something must be watching over me and that possum.:" LOL.
