Chapter 5 The Journey of "Little Hedgehog"
Mother Cocklebur has many children, and they look a little different: it turns out that their bodies are covered with sharp thorns, and they look like little hedgehogs.Therefore, everyone calls them "little hedgehogs".

The "little hedgehogs" gathered together and grew up carefree.On this day, the mother of Xanthium said to them: "Children, autumn is here, and you have grown up. It's time for you to leave home and live elsewhere!"

"Little hedgehogs" said: "Mom, we don't have feet, how can we reach another place?"

Mother Xanthium smiled and said, "Children, use your brains. Look, didn't mother wear a coat with thorns for each of you, it can not only protect your body, but also a tool for you to travel!"

"Mom, we want to travel, please teach us the specific travel method!" The "little hedgehogs" shouted eagerly.

At this time, a deer walked by the cocklebur.Mother Xanthium said: "Children, hang on to the deer, and it can take you everywhere!"

The "little hedgehogs" suddenly realized when they heard it, and when they rode by the deer, they hung on the deer one after another.

The deer walked to the distant mountains and forests. The "little hedgehogs" followed the deer and walked. Later, the little deer felt itchy on his body, so he leaned against the tree to rub the itch, and the "little hedgehogs" were wiped to the ground. Since then, they have taken root here La!
