The raccoon tries climbing and jumping, but is unable to reach the ledge without a boost.

The man has another man retrieve a wooden plank so he can free the raccoon, but not before giving it a little grief.

"What were you thinking?" the man asks.

The raccoon is able to climb the plank to safety.

"OK, don't do that again," the man says.
