We caught a hedgehog once, a spiked one. On a fishing line. By mistake. Inexperienced fisherboys were we, and left the rod outside the tent, with a worm the fish never ate still on the hook. Come the morning, the line is trailing off into them bushes! We follows it and what do we find? Not a sneaking land fish but a poor hedgehog who has swallowed worm, hook ‘n all. Oh no, it’s so sad, poor little blighter! There he was all rolled up and experiencing a hook inside him. Mum, Dad, what can we do? We snipped the line and hoped for the best. Later the hedgehog had scarpered. I hope it lived.
I like the name hedge-hog.
