One day, the Hedgehog wakes up feeling very down and sad. He understands that a hug would make him feel better, but none of his animal friends are ready for it. His animal friends don't even realize this need of Hedgehog, and they are afraid of his prickles. However, Fox agrees to hug him, but the Hedgehog doesn't fall for this trap.
