It was the dead of night and the hedgehog family are stood at the side of the road
Father turns to mother and says "I think it's time", mother looks back and agrees.
Father then turns to his son and says "Son, we're going to teach you how to cross the road safely"
The tiny hedgehog looks back at his father with a mixture of excitement and fear and says "OK Dad, I'm listening"
"It's actually quite simple" starts the elder hedgehog, "All you do is run to the middle of the road, if you see 2 bright white lights coming then line yourself in the middle and wait for the car to pass. After it's passed check there's not more white lights, then look at the car that's passed and check for red lights disappearing into the distance. When you see this, it's OK to continue across the road." "OK Dad, I've got it" replies the youngster. "In that case your mother and I will demonstrate" says Dad.
Father starts crossing the road, sees a car approaching, lines himself between the headlights, waits for the car to pass then continues across the road.
"Did you see that?" Mum says to her son. After a positive response she tells her son to watch while she gives another demonstration.
Mum leaves the side of the road, lines herself up between the headlights of an approaching car and waits for it to pass. When clear she continues her journey across the road.
"Did you see that?" the parent shouts across the road. "Yes Mummy, I saw what you did" came the reply. "OK, it's your turn".
The tiny hedgehog runs to the middle of the road, lines himself up between the approaching headlights. All of a sudden there's blood and spines all over the road.
Father turns to mother and says, "What bad luck, I've not seen a Reliant Robin in a long time"
