The raccoons gathered around the basin, the ice that had formed on its surface, their tongues flicking out non-stop to lick it!
One could see many different colors inside, a kaleidoscope of greens and reds.
As omnivorous animals, the raccoons' choice of ingredients was plentiful, including frozen cucumbers, carrots, eggplants, apples, cookies, and oranges.
One raccoon tilted its head, gnawing at the bit of carrot exposed with the teeth on one side of its mouth, and when another approached, the first pushed its head back with a paw, possessively, even growling to prevent it from stealing the treat.
The newcomer, its face pushed, got angry and climbed straight onto the ice block, using its body to nudge the first one away.
With both arms protecting the ice block, it pushed the ice to the side.
As it pushed, it even stood the ice block upright and stood up too, rolling the ice across the grass like a tire with a "rumble rumble" noise, which looked quite fun.
