Hedgehog's Good Deeds

Mr. Owl quickly flapped his wings to calm down the chattering animals. Smoothing his feathers, he pointed one wing to the board behind him where it said,“MAKING A DIFFERENCE.”

“Summer break is just a few weeks away, but I’m not through with this class yet," hooted Mr. Owl. "This weekend, you must do three good deeds.On Monday, I want you to come back, and tell me what you did and how that helped make a difference. Now, class dismissed, and enjoy your weekend.”

The cat looked at the fish and meowed in happy approval. Hedgehog laid the fish on the ground, and the kitten pounced on it, gnawing on the meat with glee.Porcupine laughed as Hedgehog walked up to him. “Did you just spend your own money to feed a kitten?” he asked.

Hedgehog nodded, “Just trying to make a difference in the world,” he replied.

Wrappers, cans and bottles covered the ground. Hedgehog’s eyes lit up, and before Porcupine could say anything, Hedgehog grabbed all the garbage he could. He even used his spines to pick more up once his hands were full!

He dashed towards the garbage can and threw in the trash. Soon, the park was all cleaned up. Porcupine walked up to him, scratching his spiny head. “What did you do that for?” he asked.

Page
“Just making a difference with a bit of cleaning,” Hedgehog replied.
“Yeah, but there're tons of garbage out there. And come tomorrow, someone will just pollute the park all over

They continue to grow in the wild and animal experts have not seen any alarming declines in the population rates. Hence, they have a minimal conservation status. But with the four-toed hedgehog’s development into a popular exotic household pet, there have been some concerns about the threatening of the native populations in Africa. Luckily, there is a breeding stock that is present in the United States that supplies this pet demand. Furthermore, it is prohibited to transport the four-toed hedgehog animals out of Africa to the pet trade market. These regulations allow for the native populations to flourish (Nichols 2014)
