One day there was a raccoon that was hungry all of the time. He loved to eat junk food, but his mother only let him eat healthy food because she thinks that growing, young children shouldn't eat anything bad. Instead of defying his mother right in front of her face, the raccoon decided that he would steal junk food out of trashcans by the street. Where this raccoon was from it was illegal to take anything from trashcans, but the raccoon decided to do it anyway. For a long time, the raccoon didn't get caught, but one day, a policeman saw the raccoon in a trashcan and took him to jail. The raccoon's mother was absolutely furious that the raccoon had been going behind her back. The raccoon hadn't had any junk food for the longest time, and he was having unbelievable cravings. He had to do something. The raccoon searched through his dress-up box looking for a perfect mask to wear. Finally, he found one, and put it on. He was desperate, so he hoped this would work. The raccoon walked out of his house, with the mask on, and searched through the first trashcan he saw. Unfortunately, there was a policeman near by who saw him. The policeman walked toward the raccoon and told him not to move, but the raccoon started to run. The policeman chased after him but was a fair distance from him. The raccoon hid down an alley, and he took of his mask. Then, he decided to walk down the alley like an innocent pedestrian. The policeman stopped to ask him if he had seen a raccoon with a black mask. Of course he said no. The raccoon decided that he would always put on his mask when he went out in public because then no one would know who was stealing out of the trashcans. This is how the raccoon got its mask.
