MORAL OF THE PORCUPINE
I never knew porcupines were so cute as babies.
Good story with a great message.
Have you ever seen a baby porcupine?
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.
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.
The moral of the story is:
Gotta Love those little Pink Feet!
Just learn to live with the Pricks in your life!
Oh my gosh, did Granny just say that?

I posted these photos on my blog about a year ago...and I received them from a friend whose brother raise them. Don't think they'll mind. Aren't they the cutest things????

Ohhhbut I have to tell you, it's a hedgehog...not a porcupine! I forgot to put that in my first post!
Ruth
Ruth, Thank you so much for the info. Did they include the story with their photos? My friend is out tonight and I couldn't wait to share, it was so cute. I am going to let the porcupine tale stand to accent the story. Thanks again for sharing.

Hey, Ginger, I have a question: I got a "LinkedIn" invite email and it had your name on it. Before I accepted, I wanted to check to see if it was legitimate, and not some scam thing. Let me know! Thanks!
Best,
Gloria

Lessons learned from our Elders...mmmmm Go Granny Go!!! Cute photos...I must admit I've never seen a baby porcupine...hard to belive it grows up to be such a pricker...I mean sticker. LOL!!!
I had to look at the picture to see if the animal was real. It's just adorable! I wonder if the quills are softer when they are babies. That is a cute and funny story. Katharine
