After the dust settled, a baby raccoon slowly hobbled in. He looked at
bear and Emma then turned around and sat under the bed.
"No one ever waits for me," he whimpered. "They always leave
me behind. No one is my friend."
Emma got out of her bed, bent down to the raccoon and
pleaded ,"Please don't cry. Stay in my bed. I'll look after you."
Emma gave such wonderful hugs. Bear and raccoon felt so happy but Emma still
couldn't sleep. She was about to try counting rhinoceroses again when bear
interrupted,"Please don't count rhinoceroses, they're too scary and
noisy. Count something like puppies.Please!"
"But there's none on the wallpaper." complained Emma "I know'
answered bear, "But lets close our eyes and imagine there's puppies."
