The little raccoon wanted to see the night. He had seen the day. 

So he said to his mother, "I want to go out in the woods and see the night."

But his mother said, "Wait."

"Wait till the moon is full." So he waited, deep in his warm little home under the chestnut tree. 

-From the wonderful Wait Till The Moon Is Full, story by Margaret Wise Brown and pictures by Garth Williams, published by Harper & Row 1948
