The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume 395

"Did you know you can find your way in the forest by looking at which side of the tree is mossier?" Mogey asked Smush as they wandered through The Billion Acre Wood one foggy morning.

"In fact I did," Smush replied confidently. "Moss grows better on the north side of trees. But that's not the only natural compass that exists, you know. Clouds usually move either east or west, spider webs tend to grow on the south sides of trees, and tadpoles almost always congregate on the west side of ponds."

"Fascinating," Mogey said. "Truly you are a great woodsman. What other hints from nature can you use if you're lost?"

"Take your neck fat, for instance," Smush answered. "I can tell you slept facing south last night, because you've got six chins on your right side, but only four on the left."
