[ The wolf can see that the raccoon is searching for something else up there, and while it isn't actually able to understand human speech (nor can it comprehend why a raccoon can speak like that), it somehow comprehends all the same.
The raccoon will get it more food. It will help sate the wolf's hunger, and even if that's only to save its own hide, it's an arrangement that should work out well.
Especially since the wolf feels somewhat less inclined to rip the other animal apart now. It can't understand why, but there's plenty of other prey out here in these woods.
So it backs away from the tree, instead moving to one nearby, close enough that the raccoon should be able to jump across. In this way they can continue to search for food, without the raccoon having to get too close to hungry jaws. ]
the wolf and the raccoon, 10x better than the fox and the hound
