Once there lived a hedgehog in the forest.
Resembling his mother.
Just as prickly.
One day, curled up,
He lay
And slept under a green bush.
And he dreamed a wonderful dream.
And past him ran a fox.
And it seemed to her, as if a wasp
Suddenly and rudely had bitten her.
But it was a spine that pierced her paw.
The fox cried out: "Oh, how it hurts!".
And her voice sounded displeased.
The hedgehog woke from the fox's moan.
The fox looked angry and
stern.
"Forgive me," said the hedgehog guiltily,
"I didn't mean to prick your
paw.
You, little fox, should watch where you're going!".
Yes, these hedgehogs are very prickly…
