What is the central idea of the text?

The central idea of the text is that Paul hid certain pieces of useful information from the children because of their age. This is reflected in the texts above, where we see the speaker believing that Paul made up a kinder explanation for them.

In the second sentence, we can also see that Paul did not really say what the raccoons looked like. So, all of these pieces of information point to the fact that Paul di not give them all the information.
