A raccoon comes to a woodcutter's house and learns to work a spinning wheel.  On a moonlit night, a giant snake appears with two moons in tow and swallows a hunter. His daughters find out and swear revenge.  A lord issues an order that anybody who turns 60 must be left in the mountains to die.  A son tearfully takes his mom up to the mountains but can't bear to it. He hides her beneath the floor.
The couple treated the 
raccoon like their own kid,
La pareja amó al mapache como 
si amara a su verdadero hijo
La pareja quiso al mapache como 
si se tratara de su verdadero hijo
O casal passou a tratar o guaxinim
como se fosse o próprio filho.
