The foundation of every pizza is the crust, and good crust comes from good dough. You might be surprised to learn that pizza dough is made from nothing more than flour, water, yeast, olive oil, salt, and sometimes sugar. Start by adding your yeast packet to a cup of warm water. Let the yeast activate, and then add two cups of flour, two tablespoons of olive oil, two teaspoons of sugar, and a teaspoon of salt. Mix all of that together and wait half an hour for the dough to rise. Now you’re ready to roll it out!

Read the excerpt below.
Ian heard a clatter outside in his backyard. He grabbed his trusty flashlight since it was close to midnight. He ran out onto the deck, stood there for a minute, and scanned the yard. Just as he was turning to go back into the house, he heard the noise again. It was coming from behind the shed. “Who’s there?” yelled Ian with a shaky voice. No one responded. Ian inched closer to the shed. He had to see what was causing the noise. He heard the clattering sound again, but this time he noticed something moving in the wood pile. All of a sudden, a raccoon jumped out of the wood pile and ran toward him! “Ahhhh….” screamed Ian. This must have scared the racoon because he changed directions and ran into the woods behind the house. Ian let out a sigh of relief and began to chuckle. He looked forward to telling his parents about it in the morning.
What is the story's motivation?
The noise that Ian hears in his backyard.
