BILLY!

Billy the raccoon knew it was his time. His time had come, and so, he stepped out into the snow, found a good spot, and lay down for his final rest. Sighing slowly, he felt his strength ebbing slowly away, as he fell into his eternal sleep...
Simon squirrel had been looking for his mate Billy all morning. Scurrying hither and thither, he’d not seen hide nor hair of his elderly pal. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something black and white in the snow...BILLY!!! Fine. I get it...a grand way to introduce kiddies to the Grim Reaper, but on the back of a winter coat, I ask you!!
