Ellis first thought of a stalker wearing a mask and sneaking into his yard, but this guy looked tiny and a bit furry. That stranger turned out to be a sweet raccoon. Ellis felt relief since there was no danger. Besides, raccoons were common in the area, so he wouldn't have to report the animal.

However, when Ellis decided to ignore the raccoon, this one started to act strange. His two front paws were high in the sky, and next, all four paws were on the ground. The raccoon kept doing it several times, which made Ellis wonder whether he was a wizard and trying to summon something from thin air.

After watching the little creature, Ellis realized he was playing chase and catch in the snowfall. Perhaps it was the first time this lovely being had seen snow falling and did not know what a snowflake was. Hence, he tried to catch some.
