Hardhair the hedgehog was still asleep, although spring had already arrived.
“He’s a heavy sleeper! Explained Mimi the mouse. “Let’s wake him up!”
Croc the hare, pulled his whiskers, Tweet-tweet the blue tit sang in his ears, Gruyere the mouse tickled his belly. It was no use… Hazelnut the squirrel approached, with cheeks full of water and quickly squirted him. Hardhair finally opened his eyes, surprised.
“What? What? What’s happening? A storm? A flood?”
“Spring has arrived!” announced Mimi.
“Already?” moaned the hedgehog. “Why didn’t you wait a bit longer? I’m tired!”
