Why Hedgehogs Have Spikes?

         

       Why Hedgehogs have spikes?

Many many moons ago, hedgehogs had no spikes. They just looked like plain old rats. One day the rats were scurrying into the garden, while searching for grubs. The one rat called Natasha, was sick and so tired of grubs that she went searching for something else. She was a shy but  a good, enthusiastic rat. She came across something that looked needle like. They looked tasty so she ate some, then she ran straight back so no one could see her!    

The next day all the other rats laughed at her the whole day because she had spikes all over her body! She was so confused. The pine needles that she had secretly eaten the day before, had grown through her skin!

“What are you laughing at?,” She asked.

“You! You've got spikes all over you!,” They replied.

Natasha ran off in embarrassment. She was so sad that she wanted revenge so she thought of a plan, an evil plan. She was going to stuff all the grubs with pine needles that she could find while the other rats were sleeping. So when they ate the grubs they would look like her.

Next Morning all the other rats gobbled down all  the grubs.

“Where did you find these delicious grubs?”

“I can’t remember!! Ha ha ha!,” She replied.

“What are you laughing about?,” The other rats answered back.

“You obviously!,” Natasha responded.

“What are you talking about?,” The other rats said.

“ Well look in the mirror!,” She said in a soft evil voice.

“Ahhh! We look just like you! So ugly!,” They said.

“Ha ha ha ha!,” Natasha said evilly, “Now you know how I felt!”

So from now on rats are hedgehogs. Next time you see a hedgehog think of the story, “How hedgehogs got their spikes.” Now be careful how you treat your friends, not like Natasha's friends.
