“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Hedgehog scurried past the thicket.
Rabbit perked a sleepy ear. “Why all the kerfuffle?”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Hedgehog crunched through the fallen leaves.
Owl peered through the dark. “Who is in a rush?”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Hedgehog scuttled by the hollow log.
Skunk raised an eyebrow. “Why so fast?”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Hedgehog hustled around the hedge.
Badger peeked out of his hole. “Where are you off to?”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Hedgehog stumbled over the rocky path.
Fox shivered in the breeze. “Why aren’t you hibernating yet?”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Hedgehog scampered up the grassy hill.
“Look!” said Hedgehog.
Fox, Badger, Skunk, Owl, and Rabbit gazed as the first snowflakes of the season swirled in the glow of the harvest moon.
“Beautiful.”
Hedgehog yawned.
“Now I can sleep until Spring.”
