I told you a story, but when I was a kid, I saw a beautiful animal. Uh, it’s called a raccoon, uh, when, uh, I came at the night, uh, look at the mango streets that, uh, close to my office actually, uh, this main grocery, uh, not too far from my office and my uh, home is, uh, also close to the office. And I look at the tree, and to Raku, uh, look at me as well. Something is like a special, but Uh, it is not very, uh, useful because, uh, usually, I couldn’t just uh, go away if someone, uh, approach, uh, it. So, uh, but, uh, at that time, it was so, like, a 10 animal and, uh, it’s not, become scary because, uh, my attendant at that, uh, tree, uh, actually, uh, this is a special moment for me because, uh, I can look at closely to the animal. So the animal, also, uh, not feel, uh, like, uh, threatened by, uh, my attendant. So, uh, it is, uh, a time so I can, uh, look at closely, uh, to, uh, Ratcon in a nature, uh, area.

I remember a time when I was a kid, and I saw a fascinating animal. It was a raccoon. I saw it one night while walking down the street near my office. It was close to a main grocery store, not too far from both my office and my home. I was looking up at a tree, and the raccoon was looking right back at me. It felt like a special moment. Raccoons aren't usually very approachable, so I couldn't get too close. But that night, it was so calm and relaxed. It wasn't scared at all, and I was able to observe it closely. The raccoon didn't seem threatened by my presence, which made it even more special. It was a rare opportunity to see a raccoon in its natural habitat, not in a zoo. I think the behavior of a raccoon in the wild is different from one in captivity. This experience was a special attempt to understand more about raccoons. It's a memory I cherish.
