Happy Hedgehog


As Ms. McLoughlin cycled home after school she saw a little hedgehog just outside her garden.  He looked  very happy.  He was sniffing in the leaves, maybe gathering his food before he hibernates for the winter, before his long long winter sleep.  When hedgehogs are frightened they curl up into a ball, so that all the soft parts of their bodies are protected by their spines.  This hedgehog wasn't frightened so he didn't need to curl up at all.
