Yes There it is shouted Jimmy Mum can I feed the raccoon Oh not that thing again his mother replied Please whined Jimmy OK give it an apple But don't be long supper's ready and I don't want you getting soaked 8
Jimmy's mum was probably the worst cook in the world Jimmy would rather have had the apple and given his supper to the raccoon Nevertheless Jimmy dashed outside with the fruit tossed it to the raccoon and ran back inside to watch from the window The raccoon stared at the food in disgust Fruit Fruit thought the raccoon If I wanted to eat that sort of nonsense I'd go back to the woods 9
But the raccoon could smell Jimmy's supper Jimmy might not have liked his mother's food but the raccoon had fairly low standards At least it made a change from berries and worms He followed Jimmy to the house but by now the door was closed The raccoon was cold wet and hungry What was he going to do
