The sun-dappled over Toad Hollow a hedgehog named Prickleton sported a miniature crown adorned with yellow and red tips. Perched regally on a checkered picnic blanket Prickleton surveyed his world. His spines shimmered in the warm glow as he nibbled on berries that Julia fed him. Nearby a gentle breeze tousled the grass. Unbeknownst to Prickleton the rabbit Hazel watched from the shadows enchanted by the royal hedgehog’s quaint majesty. In that serene moment Prickleton crowned ruler of his patchwork kingdom savored the simple pleasures of a sunny afternoon with Julia.
