Have you ever seen a baby porcupine?
How cute is this???
Fable of the Porcupine
It was the coldest winter ever. - Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.
Moral of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.

ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest little critter I have ever seen! Did you find the nest?
ReplyDeleteNo...did not find the nest...someone shared the pix with me and wanted to share with you! Hedgehog, porcupine who cares...it's still the cutest thing you ever did see! :) Thanks for coming by everyone and making a comment.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm throwing out deer hunting this year and I'm going to find one of these little guys! They're so cute, I wonder what it would be like to have one as a pet?
ReplyDeleteThey are cute...but don't throw out deer hunting just yet...I would not recommend for a pet tho...they grow up you know! :)
ReplyDeleteThey have to be one of the cutest things I have seen. I was on a ground blind hunting trip last year and saw one. It was so cute. I wish they always stayed that way.
