A few days later, Billy is told that his GRANDPA wants to see him, who reveals a surprise: he’s entered Billy into a Championship COON Hunt. Billy is shocked as GRANDPA explains how he’s been writing letters and keeping a record of all the RACCOONS that Billy catches. GRANDPA says he’s taken care of the entry fee, and he wants to come along. Billy’s Pa is reluctant to go, but Billy’s Ma encourages him to say yes, saying she’ll be fine, and Billy suddenly realizes that Ma is PREGNANT and hugs her. Billy’s 3 sisters are excited too, and the littlest sister asks Billy if she can have the gold CUP if Billy wins. The next morning, Billy and his father head to Grandpa’s house to ride in his buggy. Grandpa insists that Old Dan and Little Ann will RIDE the whole way there to make sure they have energy for the contest. They all head out.
