RACKY RACCOON
"Thank Goodness," chuckled Racky Raccoon, "that Old Dog Sandy has goneback to the city, and I can get down on the ground and stretch my legsin the daytime if I want to.
"He's been snooping around here all summer, so that _nearly_ I didn't_get_ in this book at all.
"But better late than never, and it's been worth being up a tree allsummer, to get in here with Buddy Jim and all the rest of the LittleNeighbors.
"But hungry! I haven't had a bite since twelve o'clock by the moon lastnight, and I see that Old Bob the gardener has thoughtfully left somenice yellow pumpkins on the hillside for me. You didn't know I likedpumpkins? No more _do_ I; only the seeds.
"How do I get the pumpkins open? Say, what do you s'pose my claws arefor?
"And after I get the seeds I have to take them to the brook and wash'em. What for? O, my mother told me never to eat anything without firstwashing it.
"S'long! See you later."
