Secrets: Here we’ve caught Rocky raccoon and his three mates in the midst of a robbery. Having ransacked a house for valuables, they make their escape through the garden. Unfortunately, they are delayed by the antics of Tubs the Turtle who is hanging onto one raccoon’s ear. Another raccoon will have to rescue the youngest member of the gang who is stuck inside a tree trunk. Rocky himself is tempted by a bottle of champagne that Peter and Andrea had saved from their South African honeymoon. Peter’s mouse hides in another tree trunk. Inside the box are the stolen items: camera, watch, ring, necklace, pen, and bag of money. The first raccoon that Peter saw was in Chicago in June 1997, but in order to study them closely he visited an animal sanctuary close to his home where Rocky, Penny, and Mouse were the resident raccoons. Peter also remembers another resident, Yogi, the copabari. “Little Den” is the new home that Peter and Andrea were buying at the time.
