The hedgehog who survived grief

There are terrible moments in life, and we all know that everything has a beginning and an end: summer changes to autumn, then to winter (the Hedgehog understood this, but he didn’t know what happened to the hedgehogs themselves).

Once there was no native Hedgehog, and our hero fell into grief.

The hedgehog realized that he would no longer be able to look for worms with his friend, bask in the sun and run around the lawn.

And he became sad, stopped rejoicing and did not leave the mink at all – he was so sad and deplorable. He did not want to eat and play, he only cried his hedgehog tears.

So several days passed. Somehow a small sunbeam, looking into the hole of the Hedgehog, called him. Thorn woke up from longing and went out to bask in the sun.

Then he saw how a wild strawberry leaf was waving to him to treat him with a delicious berry, and a butterfly was inviting him to circle around together.

The Hedgehog began to remember that other Hedgehog, but not with sadness, but with joy – how they ran across the lawn and ate delicious strawberries. Thorn smiled again at the fond memories.

In life, everything ends, but it’s good that she was!

Questions for analysis:
1. Do you know what it is to lose heart?
2. Have you ever been bored?
3. How did you miss?
4. What helped (will help) you not to lose heart?

Creative task:

1. Draw a sad Hedgehog or something sad.
3. Try to do something to make it easier.
4. Draw the ladybug, strawberry and butterfly that brought the Hedgehog back to life from the grief of loss.
