Once upon a time, a little hedgehog lived in a forest. It was very kind and gentle, but no one wanted to be its friend. Why? Because they were scared of its needles. This made the hedgehog very sad.
One day, while walking through the forest, the hedgehog encountered a little fox who was crying.
- "What's wrong?" the hedgehog asked.
- "I'm lost and can't find my way home," the fox replied.
- "Where is your home?" the hedgehog inquired.
- "Near the big oak tree," the fox answered.
- "Oh, I know where that is! I can help you. Let's go together," the hedgehog offered.
So, the fox and the hedgehog set off together. They chatted along the way, and before long, they reached the big oak tree.
- "I see my home!" the fox exclaimed. "Thank you so much for your help! But I couldn't see you clearly in the dark. Who are you?"
- "I am a hedgehog," the hedgehog responded.
- "Really? I thought you were scary because of your needles. I'm so embarrassed. You've turned out to be so kind! Can we be friends?" the fox asked.
- "Of course! Now you see that you can't judge someone by their appearance," the hedgehog said.
From then on, the fox and the hedgehog became best friends, teaching everyone in the forest the valuable lesson of not judging others by how they look.
