This tale ended with all okay, but it could have turned out deadly, for when Boza and I went hunting for creatures like bear, lions and tigers, we never expected to come across the ruler of the lands and the ponds nearby, of course; A giant elephant eating hedgehog…
We had been confused as to why there was a lack of lions, elephants and other such wild creatures in the area and now we had our fears confirmed. What with a killer Chihuahua in the village (Link) and the surrounding territory being ransacked by a viscous carnivore of a hedgehog, we are at the mercy of nature it seems…
It started like this: Boza and I were stealthily walking, looking for any sign of prey, we had decided that a lion sandwich tonight would be a good thing to eat and maybe a tiger leg to chew on would be a good second best. That was when we heard the sound…
The dreaded huffing and popping noise that is associated with death in the fields. All creatures young and old, big or small, even weak or tough, run for the hills and hide when you hear such a sound…
Pop pop pop pop pop – hiss huff – hiss huff – pop pop pop pop – huff huff huff…
But since Boza and I are either stupid or the bravest hunters on earth, we searched the grasses for the creature making these noises and we found him and to say the least, he was pissed off and did not appreciate me taking pictures of his attitude as it was happening. I gathered from the pile of elephant bones in the nearby field, that he had eaten already and we were very lucky that he did not want a snack for dinner. For I am sure Boza could have outrun him, but I am not sure that I could have…
I recorded the monumental event and then Boza and I turned to thoughts of fighting the creature and Boza looked at me kinda skeptically. All I had brought with me to fight with, was a special walking stick. It is extremely efficient at bringing lions down (with Boza’s help,) but a hedgehog and a hedgehog this big, was a different story. I most likely would not be here telling the store now, if we had confronted such a creature in the wilds…
Therefore, we left quietly and swiftly
Therefore again, Boza and I will gather our strength, weapons and abilities that have been finely honed to protect the lands with and hunt another day, when we are more assured of victory against a superior foe…
How was or is your day?
Our day was perfect…
