The Parable of the Prodigal Son
The Mole and The Hedgehog By: Carlie Murdock
Once upon a time, there was a hedgehog and a mole. The hedgehog belonged to the most ‘popular’ group in the town. Everybody wanted to be in that group because it was really cool. Then there was the mole. Now, the mole is the total opposite of the hedgehog. No one wanted to be moles friend because she was really ugly and shy. Every day at lunch she would sit alone and have her face in a book because she was obsessed with reading. The one-day the hedgehog noticed her and felt really bad for her, so she said to her friends, “Guys, I feel like I should say something to that mole. I feel really bad for her because she seems so lonely.”
The chinchilla said, “Uh, no! Eeewww, she is so ugly. Just look at those weird things sticking out of her nose. If you want to stay in our group then you are not allowed to be near her or even close to her.”
“Right, like what are those things?” said the cat in a snotty voice.
“Well, I’m sorry if you guys don’t want me to talk to her, but I am going to go up to her, talk to her, and eat my lunch with her,” the hedgehog replied.
“Okay, but you are no longer in our group,” said the chinchilla.
“Fine,” responded the hedgehog.
So the hedgehog went up to the mole and said, “Hello.”
The mole responded, “Hello.”
“How are you today?” said the Hedgehog.
“Fine. How are you?” replied the mole.
“Great!” responded the hedgehog.
And the hedgehog and the mole started talking and realized how much they had in common. The end.
Moral: Don’t let your friends tell you who to be friends with.
