Let’s read the story carefully and answer each question one at a time.

Question 1: What is the raccoon’s point of view about night?

The raccoon says:
- “When the sun goes down... that is the best time to go for a walk.”

- “By the time the sun rises... I am usually very full and very sleepy.”
- “I missed the quiet of the night.”
