.....but as the leaves rustled....

In the deep dark woods filled with creepy crawlies lived a girl. A quiet girl; she never spoke,
ate or slept.
Once she went to find some fruit.....but as the leaves rustled.....she knew she wasnt alone.
As she picked up the last mango she saw two gleaming eyes - red and still. She froze.
Whilst thinking, What was the beast? She ran and ran and the beast sprinted after her. She
screamed as loud as she could. Just then in a flash she jumped on to the bamboo ladder and
pushed it so that it would fall on to the beast.

It was autumn. The garden was full of frost, but as the leaves rustled, a hedgehog emerged
from the undergrowth. It scurried about with its nose to the ground.
I then saw a red figure prowling around the trees. A few seconds went by and then it pocked
its sensitive whiskers out of a thorn bush. The hedgehog saw the creature and curled up
into a tight, thorny ball.
It was a fox. It pounced, only to be prickled by the defensive little hedgehog. The fox
whimpered and scurried back into the forest.
The hedgehog got to live another day.
