1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. In this story,

2
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: mister Raccoon and mister Possum decide to have a party

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: for the bachelors of the area, but they decide not

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: to invite mister Crow because he can be so argumentative.

5
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: When the party gets going, the animals get started singing

6
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: and get quite loud, and they wake mister Crow up.

7
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Mister Crow gets quite upset and decides he is going

8
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: to make the party quite a bit more exciting. Mister

9
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: Crow goes and tells mister Raccoon and mister Possum lived

10
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: near each other in the woods, and one day they

11
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: decided to give us supper on the first bright moonlit night.

12
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: It will be much easier for us to provide supper together,

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: said mister Raccoon, because we are bachelors and we can

14
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: help each other. But the real reason was that mister

15
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: Raccoon knew that mister Possum had some new spoons, and

16
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: all the Raccoon family loved shiny things. He thought he

17
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: might be able to slip one or two of those

18
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: spoons into his pocket and never be found out. Because

19
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: there would be so many guests that mister Possum would

20
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: not know which one to suspect. When he found out,

21
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: mister Possum was delighted to do this, as mister Raccoon suggested,

22
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: and they began making a list of guests to be invited.

23
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Of course, there was mister Fox and mister Squirrel at

24
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: Jack Rabbit and mister Owl, who were all bachelors like themselves,

25
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: so they decided they would not ask any of the

26
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: married folks, but call it a bachelor party. Old James Crow,

27
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: who lives in a tree near me, will think he

28
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: should be invited to I suppose, said mister Possum. But

29
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: he is such a quarrelsome old fellow. I don't want

30
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: to ask him. Oh no, don't ask him, said mister Raccoon,

31
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: thinking of mister Possum's new spoons, and remembering that the

32
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Crow family were very like his own in the matter

33
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: of liking bright and glittering things. He will never know

34
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: we have a party. He goes to bed at sunset,

35
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, though, it was decided that old James Crow

36
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: was not to be invited, and that only the bachelors

37
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: of the wood were to be asked. A few nights

38
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: after this, the moon shone brightly and over to mister

39
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Possum's house. They all went. Now, it happened that they

40
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: began to sing when they all sat down to the table,

41
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: that they were jolly goodfellows, and something about being single

42
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: was a life of bliss, and another about poor married men.

43
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: And they made so much noise that they woke Old

44
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: James Crow, who was sound asleep in his bed. What

45
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: is that noise? He said, jumping up and listening. But

46
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: when he heard it again, old mister Crow got out

47
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: of bed and put his head out of the window.

48
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Oh we are jolly bachelor boys came from mister Possum's

49
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: house and floated right up to mister Crow's window. Something

50
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: is going on that I do not know about, said

51
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: old mister Crow, pulling in his head and taking off

52
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: his nightcap. I must find out what it is. I

53
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: would say that that noise came from mister Possum's house.

54
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: I'll go right down there and see. And he did,

55
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: arriving just as the supper was being put on the table.

56
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: And while mister Crow did not go to the door,

57
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: he had no trouble at all in looking in through

58
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: the shutters. For old mister Crow was very clever in

59
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: the art of spying. There was a big fat turkey,

60
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: but mister Crow did not care about that. That is,

61
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: he was not crazy about turkey. He could eat it

62
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: if there was nothing better. But when the big dish

63
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: of green corn was brought in, mister Crow began to

64
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: think he had been slighted, and that he should have

65
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: been asked to the party. Jack Rabbit stood up in

66
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: his chair so he would be tall enough to be seen,

67
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: and held up a crisp raw. Here is to our hosts,

68
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: mister Raccoon and mister Possum, he said, taking a bite

69
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: of the radish, So thought old mister Crow. Mister Possum

70
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: is giving this supper, and he is a neighbor. Then

71
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: somebody began to sing, we are the bachelors of the wood.

72
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be married if we could. And then mister

73
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: Crow was good and mad giving a bachelor party? Are they?

74
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: He thought? And they left me out. I am a

75
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: bachelor just as much as any of those fellows. I'll

76
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: pay them back for slighting me if it takes me

77
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: one hundred years. Just then the ice cream was brought in,

78
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: and mister Crow spied the new spoons, and his eyes

79
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: shone with longing to have one, or two, or three,

80
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: or as many as he could get. But how could

81
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: he get them? If only he could scare them and

82
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: make them all run, he could get them easy enough.

83
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 1: Then an idea came to mister Crow, and he flew away.

84
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: I will have those spoons before I sleep again tonight,

85
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: and my revenge too. Or my name is not James Crow,

86
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: he said, and out of the woods he went. Mister

87
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: Crow flew straight for the farm, and you know crows

88
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: can fly very straight, it is said. When he arrived,

89
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: it was all still. Not a sound could be heard

90
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: but mister dog breathing very hard. But it was mister

91
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: dog that mister Crow wanted, so it was easy to

92
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: find him by following the noise. Mister Crow tapped on

93
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: the side of mister Dogg's house, for his door was open,

94
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: and out bounded mister Dogg with a growl. Hush, don't

95
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: make a noise, said mister Crow. Are you free to

96
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: run over to the woods. Yes, I see you are,

97
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: he said, looking at mister Dogg's collar and seeing there

98
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: was nothing fastened to it. Do you want some fun,

99
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: he asked mister Dogg. Mister Dogg began to jump around

100
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: and wag his tail. He was always ready for fun,

101
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: he told mister Crow. But where is it at this

102
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: time of the night, he asked. You. Come with me,

103
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: said mister crow, And if I do not show you

104
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: more sport in a minute than you ever had in

105
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: an hour with your man, I will eat all the spoons.

106
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: What spoons, asked mister Dog, standing still and dropping his tail.

107
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to run after spoons. Oh, I did

108
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: not mean spoons at all, said mister Crow. I should

109
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: have said I will eat my hat. But I promise

110
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: you there will be fun, and plenty of it. Mister

111
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: Raccoon and mister Possum are giving a supper in the woods,

112
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: and their guests are Mister Squirrel, tell me no more.

113
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't care about the guests. Hurry, hurry, where are

114
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: they said mister Dog, dancing around so fast that mister

115
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Crow could not turn quickly enough to keep up with him.

116
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: Come along and I will show you, he said, and

117
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: off he flew, keeping close to the ground so mister

118
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Dog could follow him. The supper was still going on

119
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: when they arrived. Mister Crow flew to a tree close by,

120
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: for he knew mister Dog could manage alone. Now that

121
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: he had shown him the place, mister Dog did not

122
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: stop to knock. He bounded in through the window, taking

123
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: off a shutter as he went out the back door,

124
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: out the front door, and out the windows went the

125
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: guests and their hosts. And after them, barking, went mister Dog.

126
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: They are jolly fellows, all right, now, croaked mister Crow

127
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: as he watched them run out of sight. And now

128
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: my party begins. Mister Crow went in and took all

129
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: the spoons from the deserted supper table and carried them

130
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: off to his house. He hid them under the bed,

131
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: and then he got in and went to sleep. He

132
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: did not even bother to go over to see mister

133
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: Dog the next day, so little did he care how

134
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: the chase came out. He knew mister Dog did not

135
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: catch mister Possum or mister Raccoon, because he saw them

136
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: both the next day. But that was all he knew,

137
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: and all he cared for. Those were the two he

138
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: had in his plan for revenge. The next day, when

139
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: mister Raccoon was out and mister Crow made sure he

140
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: was not only away from home but out of the woods,

141
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: mister Crow took all the spoons, but one under his wing,

142
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: and went over to mister Raccoon's house and got in

143
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: the cellar window. He went upstairs and put those spoons

144
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: between mister Raccoon's feather beds. Mister Raccoon had two thick

145
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: feather beds, always having plenty of feathers on hand as

146
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: he did. Then mister Crow went over to mister Possum's

147
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: house and found him sitting in the doorway, looking very sad.

148
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: What is the matter with you, friend Possum, asked mister Crow,

149
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: in the most friendly tone he could muster. Don't you

150
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: feel well? I have lost all my new spoons, said

151
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: mister Possum. Someone stole them. I am afraid. He did

152
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: not want mister Crow to know about the party, so

153
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: he did not tell him any more. Oh that is

154
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: too bad, said mister Crow. Were they anything like those

155
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: mister Raccoon has I saw him cleaning some very beautiful

156
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: ones this morning as I passed his window. I did

157
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: not know he had any spoons, said mister Possum. He

158
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: has never told me he had any spoons. Are you

159
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: sure you saw them? Just as sure as I am

160
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: that I see you now, mister Possum, said mister Crow.

161
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: But of course they would not have anything to do

162
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: with your spoons. I was wondering if his were like yours.

163
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: If they are, I could take a look at them,

164
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: and then if in my travels I saw any like them,

165
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: I would know they were yours and bring them back

166
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: to you. I am very close at finding things that

167
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: are lost. Mister Possum did not seem inclined to say anything,

168
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: and mister Crow went on, why don't you come along

169
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: with me to mister Raccoon's house and get him to

170
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: show us his spoons. I am anxious to help you

171
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: if I can. I know how I would feel if

172
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: I lost some beautiful tin spoons. This seemed to make

173
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: mister Possum interested, so we walked along with mister Crow,

174
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: who was so anxious to get to mister Raccoons he

175
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: could hardly keep from flying. Mister Raccoon had just returned

176
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: when they arrived and was unlocking his door. I lost

177
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: all my new spoons last night, said mister Possum. Mister

178
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Crow said that he saw you cleaning some, and if

179
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: they were like mine, he would like to take a

180
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: look at them, and then he might find mine. But

181
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: I did not know you had any spoons. Mister Crow

182
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: held his head very high and looked sideways while mister

183
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: Possum was talking. But out of the corner of one

184
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: eye he could see mister Raccoon, and he saw him

185
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: turn around and look at him very angrily. Mister Crow said,

186
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: I had some spoons. He said. He has sharper eyes

187
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: than I thought, and I always knew he had sharp eyes,

188
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: particularly for bright things. But how he could see spoons

189
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: in my house is more than I can explain, for

190
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: I have no spoons. Well, of course, I did not

191
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: wish to cause any trouble, said mister Crow, but I

192
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: certainly saw you cleaning spoons. Anyway, it will be easy

193
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: to prove you have no spoons in the house by

194
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: letting us search, And of course you would rather, mister Raccoon,

195
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: or that will clear you from suspicion, that is, if

196
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: we do not find them. Go ahead and look, said

197
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: mister Raccoon, opening the door and standing aside for them

198
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: to enter. I am glad I did not take one

199
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: of those spoons, he thought to himself, for he remembered

200
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: that he had intended to do so if mister Dog

201
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: had not come in so unexpectedly. Of course, mister Crow

202
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: held back and let mister Possum do all the hunting

203
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: until they came to mister Raccoon's bedroom, and then he said,

204
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: I have always heard that stolen goods are often hidden

205
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: in beds. We might look there first. Of course, they

206
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: found the spoons, and when mister Raccoon saw them he

207
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: almost fell over. Who put them there? I didn't, he said.

208
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: Of course you didn't, said mister Crow, with a smile

209
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: that plainly said you are a storyteller. There is one spoon,

210
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: mis said mister Possum, who had been counting the spoons.

211
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: I had a dozen, and there are only eleven here.

212
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: He probably ate his breakfast with that one, said mister Crow.

213
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: Better give it up, mister Raccoon. We have caught you,

214
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: and there is no use denying it. Now go ahead

215
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: and find it if you can, said mister Raccoon. I

216
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: did not take those spoons. Then I do not know

217
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: where the other spoon is, even if you do, mister Crow,

218
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: what do you mean by that, asked mister Crow, beginning

219
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: to hop about. I mean that you seem to be

220
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: pretty sure where those spoons were, said mister Raccoon, And

221
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: if I am not mistaken about the history of your family,

222
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: they are noted for their love of shiny things almost

223
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: as much as ours. Come along, said mister Crow to

224
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: mister Possum. We have found your spoons, and that is

225
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: all I want. I cannot bother with this fellow who

226
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: now wants to make out like I took the spoons.

227
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: But that is always the way with thieves. They always

228
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: blame it on someone else if they can. The more

229
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: mister Raccoon thought about those spoons, the more certain he

230
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: was that mister Crow had something to do with their

231
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: being found in his house. So one night, about a

232
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: week after, he went to mister Crow's house and watched.

233
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: After some time, he saw the light go out, and

234
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: he thought, after all he was not to catch mister

235
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: Crow that night. But just as he was going away,

236
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: he saw a tiny flicker of light at another window.

237
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Up went mister Raccoon and peeked in, and what do

238
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: you think he saw mister Crow sitting at a table

239
00:16:53,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: eating bread and milk with mister Possum's missing spoon. It

240
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 1: did not take long for mister Raccoon to get to

241
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: mister Possum's house and bring him back and show him

242
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: his spoon. And then right through the window they jumped

243
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: and grabbed mister Crow. Mister Possum gave him a shake

244
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: and told him to never show his beak around here

245
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: any more. The next day there was a for rent

246
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: sign on the house where mister Crow had once lived,

247
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: and all the bachelors met that night to discuss the

248
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: breaking up of the party and to hear about the

249
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: spoons and how they were found. And it is my opinion,

250
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: said mister Raccoon, that if someone were to ask mister Dog,

251
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: he would tell us that mister Crow went and told

252
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: him about our party. But who will ask mister dogg

253
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: asked Jack Rabbit. No one seemed to be interested enough

254
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: to ask mister Dog, and they never knew for shore

255
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: whether he told or not, But mister Raccoon always said

256
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: he did. And at any rate, the wood folk were

257
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: glad to be rid of old mister Crow once and

258
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: for all. And that's the end of our story. Good night,

259
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: sleep tight.
