Harriet the Hedgehog's Listening Adventure

Once upon a time, in a cozy little burrow beneath a tall oak tree, lived a spunky hedgehog named Harriet. She had prickly quills all over her back, but a warm and friendly heart inside.

'Harriet,' Flutter said, 'it's time for the great migration. All the birds and butterflies are getting ready to fly to warmer lands.' Harriet's quills stood on end with curiosity.

Eager to learn more, Harriet wiggled towards Mr. Owl, the wisest creature in the forest. 'Mr. Owl, do you know about this migration thingy?' she asked politely.

'Ah, young Harriet,' hooted Mr. Owl wisely. 'The migration is a magnificent journey where animals travel to find food and escape the cold. Soon, the leaves will fall, and it'll be time for hibernation.'
