The angry snake and the annoying raccoon

Once in a foggy swamp, at 5:30AM, racoons were running around the edge and snakes swam in the water and slithered along mossy tree branches.

A snake looked up as something shining bright caught her eye. A sneaky raccoon saw the shiny object too. The snake and raccoon move closer to check it out, and they see a golden hat balanced on the end of a branch swaying in the breeze.

Both animals moved quickly to the hat, each not knowing the other was wanting to get the hat. 

Suddenly a water rat jumps out of the water taking the hat from their reach. They looked everywhere  for the hat, wondering what had happened to it. They argued that the other had made the hat fall into the mud.

The snake and raccoon found out what had happened and captured the rat. They found the rat had two golden hats so they were able to have one each.
