Raccoons, opossums and skunks, sentence 0

In a city like Toronto, a family may wake up to find the green bin open and rubbish all over the drive: a raccoon has lifted the lid with its clever little hands, which have five fingers and are so sensitive that it can feel food it cannot see.

Who acts: family, raccoon, clever little hands · What happens: wake up, find, rubbish, lift, have, be · To what, where: city, green bin, drive, lid, five fingers, food
