I am spike and you should be jumping quick, I am only out collecting sticks. You see I should be resting it is nearly time. We all sleep and we need our rest, the winters are long and I am building our nest. Hedgehogs come out at night and stay out of sight, but I am little late the sun is rising in the sky, so my friend ill bid you goodbye. Oh no what is that sound? I will roll up into a ball, my spikes will be prickly and scare them all. You go that way and quick jump or use your camouflage like me, then you will definitely be more hard to see.

Thank you my friend I will head for the grass I can jump extremely fast.
