Tug-of-War With a Hedgehog
Tug-of-War
With a Hedgehog
Mrs. May, our District
Nurse, was driving home at 3 a.m. one night after an urgent visit to a sick
patient. She was driving along a deserted country lane, when she saw a new kind
of animal. She stopped her car and got out. The animal was clearly visible in
the blaze of her headlights. It looked like a hedgehog with a tall white hat.
It was crossing the road without paying any attention to Mrs. May. When Mrs.
May went close to it, she noticed that there was a plastic yoghurt pot on the
hedgehog's head. The poor creature had got its head stuck in the plastic pot!
Her instincts as a nurse told her she would have to rescue it, so she pulled at
the pot, but the hedgehog pulled too. After a struggle, she pulled the pot off
the hedgehog's head. Mrs. May thought the hedgehog looked rather sad, when she
noticed that the pot was half full of strawberry yoghurt. She gave it back to
the hedgehog. The creature seized it, put it on its head again, and
triumphantly continued its journey across the road.
