The little raccoon

The little raccoon

By: RICHARD PADRÓ MARTÍNEZ

There was once, deep in the forest in a very tall tree there was a hole

where a raccoon family lived. Mrs. Mapache had three babies that were

hungry

their mom decides to show them the world:

-This is the grass- their mother tells them. The little children loved it, they shot, they romped and

They even tasted the grass.

One night, Mrs. Raccoon goes out with her children to look for food. His eyes shine

like little lights.

But mom only sees two pairs of eyes. Oh! The smallest has been lost!

Go get it! Before the Fox finds it.

Little one had stopped to say hello to a porcupine, I wanted to ask him why

It has long thorns and not a soft fur like it.

- How curious you are, son! - his mother says. Small come with me. -This is the water-

said the mother. In it they saw tasty fish.

Small gets excited, approaches and slips. Falls into the water How restless was Little!

Why do you always do what you should not?

One day Mama naps and a Fox approaches without making a noise. Little

Think quickly Instantly runs for help.

-Soon soon! tells his friend Porcupine.

And when the Fox is about to jump on Mrs. Raccoon, suddenly

a jump in the air and away screaming in pain. Mom wakes up and asks for

Little. Did the Fox take it? No, there it is, with Porcupine.

How proud Mrs. Raccoon was! How proud the little raccoon are! But

the proudest one is Little! At last he did what he had to do!
