Kindness pays off

Here is my fable illustrating that kindness pays off.

There once was a boy named Jacob. Jacob was a small boy of 9 with dark black hair. Jacob's father told him to go and fetch some ducks from the pond so that they could eat. Before he arrived at the pond, Jacob found a baby raccoon on the forest floor. The baby was lost so Jacob looked around and saw a rotting tree stump. Deciding that this could be the raccoon's home he picked up the scrabbling baby and walked over to the stump. Up popped the mother raccoon chittering so much that it was clear that this was her baby. Jacob let the baby down in the stump and left to fetch the ducks.
When Jacob got home his father took the ducks in one hand and slammed the door in his face with the other! Wondering what had just happened, Jacob opened the window and saw his father making a delicious duck soup for himself and none for Jacob. Jacob was astounded his father would do something like this. Looking around, Jacob noticed that it was getting dark and he couldn't stand here all night. Jacob set off towards the pond in search of more ducks, As he past the hollow tree trunk the raccoon popped out and pulled him in. Surprised, but grateful, Jacob put lots of leaves over himself to keep himself warm and went to sleep. In the morning Jacob woke up the raccoons and told them to follow him to his house. When they got there he asked the raccoons to dig a passage beneath the house and into the living room. Jacob and the raccoons stood behind his unsuspecting father. The raccoons suddenly jumped high in the air and onto his father who was so surprised that he ran away screaming about the house being haunted by the ghost of two raccoons with rabies.
