The start of the story
Autumn came to the forest, colorful and rustling. Spike the hedgehog and Toby the bear decided to build a hut out of branches, with a door and a roof made of moss. “We’ll show it to everyone before snack time!” said Spike excitedly. The hedgehog worked fast. He ran to fetch twigs, stacked them, fixed them and kept hurrying his friend along. Toby worked slowly, because Toby always did everything slowly. He chose the thickest sticks, sniffed the moss and hummed his favorite song about honey.
