The hedgehog and the bunnies
by Fred Roblero and Ericka L. Herrera Carvajal
The sun came up from the cloudy mountains and glared the green park where the bunnies were found. Filled with joy and happiness the little bunnies were having fun. It was a lovely and fluffy family. They were playing. Their fuss awakens the grumpy hedgehog. He stretched himself to see where the noise came from. He glanced at the cheerful family of bunnies. He could see that the bunnies were playing with a lovely red balloon. He couldn’t handle the wish to play with the balloon, so he asked if he could play with them. The bunnies doubted for a second but then they let them. But the intentions of the hedgehog were not pleasant. The hedgehog took the balloon from himself. The bunnies were irate and tried to take the balloon from him. The hedgehog knew that he would lose it so he popped it with his big spiky spines. The disappointed sad bunnies directed to the colorful big tree they were living as a big storm was coming by. The grumpy hedgehog hides himself in a hole. The devastating storm massacred almost every single living plant in the area. After a few days the grumpy hedgehog couldn’t find any food nearby so he directed to the now scarred tree where the bunnies live in. He could see that the bunnies gathered enough food to themselves to survive; the hedgehog asked if he could stay with them and share their shelter with him. The bunnies couldn’t forgive what he has done with the balloon so they kicked the hedgehog out. The grumpy hedgehog walked across the devastated paths of solitude hoping for a comfy and warm place to find a refugee from the cold darkness. Suddenly he heard a voice behind his back. He could hear a scratchy voice that says “Come here I can help you”. The curiously hedgehog stared where the voice came from and then suddenly a fox pounced from the shadows. The fox could see that it was difficult to eat the hedgehog. “I will bring my friends to eat you up” the fox said. “Wait, that would not be necessary. You know I could tell you where you and your friends can eat a full bunch of bunnies” the hedgehog said. The grumpy hedgehog told the fox where he could find the bunnies. The herds of foxes rushed to the scarred tree, the bunnies were terrified and defenseless. That day the foxes had a feast of delicious soft meat. The next day hunger prowled the foxes; the leader remembered where they have found the hedgehog. The hedgehog was sleeping in a rock trying to avoid what had happened. Without noticing he heard someone coming closer. He could only saw a blurry color orange coming his way. The hedgehog scares and run quickly as he could until he fell in a muddy hole. The foxes surrounded the hedgehog. “What do you want? I’ve already told you where the bunnies were!” the hedgehog said. “And you did well! But now we are hungry and hunger will always be there! You understand, right?” The hedgehog tried to dig with his tiny hands and escape, but then the hedgehog stopped and with an “I’m sorry” he left himself go to the destiny he has tailored.
