"Hedgehog Underground"
Story by Natalie, for Daisuke

REF#_t4-1/DaisukeH.JPG

Under a bramble bush I found a hedgehog trying to dig a hole but I didn't know what it was doing really. I thought to myself "What is it doing? Is it finding a baby or is it finding a leaf?" But I didn't know what it was doing. I said "I'd better leave it alone."

Then I asked my mother if I could go to town. She said I could go to town. But I didn't realise the hedgehog had followed me underground. When I stopped in front of a shop the hedgehog lifted me up. It had actually lifted me from the pavement.

I tried to walk away from it but I was still standing on the hedgehog. Then I had an idea. I managed to get into the shop and bought myself a hedgehog suit. Then I said "I'd better get a spade too because I think I'll need it." I went out of the shop and left my things in a basket. Of course I paid for them.

I took my spade out of the basket and started to dig into the ground. But then I remembered one thing that I had forgotten to buy so I picked up my basket and my spade, went back into the shop. and found a torch. Whilst I was waiting in the queue to pay I said "There is something else I've forgotten. What can it be? Oh yes, it was a spreader, I'll go and get it now." By the time I had got back, there was nobody in the queue, so I bought my things and went out of the shop.

Then I went out of the shop and dug some more. until there was a large hole big enough for me to go in. I took my torch and all my other things and went into the hole. I smoothed down the pavement, clicked on my torch so it was light and dug through the hole until I found the hedgehog. I picked him up and put him in my basket, put all my things in the basket and with my spade I dug up to the pavement. When I had got there I smoothed down the pavement, started to walk back to home,put the hedgehog back in the bramble bush and went back to my house just behind the bramble bush.
