Raccoon Goes up a Building – level 3

Raccoon Goes up a Building

29-03-2022 15:00

The story of a raccoon turned viral when it decided to climb up a 25-storey building in Minnesota, USA.

It started its journey up on Monday. Maintenance workers tried to get the animal down, but it simply ignored them. To everyone’s amazement, the heroic racoon made it to the 23rd storey before taking a break on the windowsill. The director of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ (in which one character is an anthropomorphic raccoon) even offered $1,000 to get it down.

The climber’s way up progressed and everyone celebrated after it got all the way to the top in the early hours of Wednesday.

Difficult words: viral (very popular, especially on the Internet), anthropomorphic (human-like), progress (go on, continue).
