                            the Raccoon was sleeping soundly in his                              early one morning when he was awakened suddenly by the loud chirping of a                              . He leaned out his window, felt a few                               hit his head, and shouted “Please be quiet!”  The                             continued to chirp loudly      “How rude!” grumbled                              , as he rolled out of bed and reluctantly put on his                               . He tried to dodge the                             as he raced up the                               that led to the                              where the                              continued to chirp.  When                             arrived on the                               , he yelled at the                              , “Please stop making that racket . . . I am trying to rest!”

                            , not understanding raccoon language, smiled at                              and continued to chirp merrily.                               became angry.  He raced back the                                 to his                              .  He searched for something that he could use to scare the                              away from his                                .                                    picked up a handful of                              .  He ran up the                            to the                              where the                               was still chirping  happily.                               threw the                             , one by one, toward the                               , being careful not to hit him.  The                              thought that the  raccoon was offering him the                             as a snack.  To show his gratitude to                                 , the                             sang to him a little louder.

                            was furious! He ran down the                             and back to his                             to find something else to scare the                              away.                             grabbed a large                                 and raced back up the                             to the                                .                             waved the                                       in the air at the                              and yelled “Go away!” over and over again while jumping up and down.  The                              thought that the raccoon was trying to dance to his  music so he chirped even louder. By now                              was exhausted and was about to give up.  He sat on the                               and rubbed his head with the end of his                                  .  He was certain that there would be no way to get rid of the                                so that he could go back to sleep,

                             saw the                                     turn black.  The                                           became heavy and he heard the distant rumble of thunder.  Just then, the                              flapped its wings and flew silently into the trees to find shelter.                                  walked happily down the                               back to his                              .  He took off his                                and lay down on his bed.  Listening to the gentle sound of the                                 falling on his                             , he quickly fell asleep.
