the story of porcupine and hedgehog

Continuation of porcupine and hedgehog

After a week has gone by without any news of Mr. Porcupine, Miss Hedgehog was extremely upset, thinking that she must have surely done something to upset Mr. Porcupine and that is why he is avoiding her.

Miss Hedgehog got so upset and frustrated with Mr. Porcupine that she decided to have fun on the candy swings, and fluffly candy clouds on her own. However, it was not the same. She missed Mr. Porcupine's company.

Eventually, Miss Hedgehog busied herself with cleaning up the houses and finding other mundane stuff to do to keep herself occupied, hoping that Mr. Porcupine would show up in front of her doorstep. But no sign of Mr. Porcupine at all.

One day, as she was returning home from washing the laundries in a nearby water stream, she found a letter waiting for her at the door.

Miss Hedgehog: OH!!! why, it is a letter. from... (as she opens the letter)... Mr. Porcupine!!!

Mr. Porcupine: (from the letter) Miss Hedgehog, i am writing to let you know that i have not forgotten you and please forgive me for my rude exit. I'm sorry i did not manage to tell you about my absence earlier as i feared that it would upset you, as you seemed to be having a fun time playing in the candy lane. anyway, i had to rush off to attend to help my aunt take care of my sick grandma. She has not been feeling very well. I'm a little worried for her. I will only be back in 2 months' time. However, if the situation is critical, i might have to extend my stay here.

Yours sincerely,
Porcupine

Miss Hedgehog was thrilled yet sad to receive that letter from Mr. Porcupine. She missed him terribly as there is no one to accompany her on the candy rides, share stories, jokes and thoughts with her. With the absence of Mr. Porcupine, Miss Hedgehog realized that he has had become an important part of her life and is beginning to appreciate him. However, Miss Hedgehog was still angry with Mr. Porcupine for not trying to tell her about his leaving.

" He could at least try" thought Miss Hedgehog. " If you don't try, how would you know my reaction? If i get angry, then at least you explain it to me clearly and i'll try to see it from your point of view, then maybe we can work something out." "sigh, i guess his brain juices must have gone up those spikes of his, his brain doesn't seem to be working fine.."

"but then again, i am such a mean hedgehog. oh dear, I hope i have not bullied and frightened away poor Mr. Porcupine. That would be terrible... NOpe! nope! nope! it's his fault. He did not try to tell me, and it serves him right that i'm angry with him. "

As miss Hedgehog continued to think in the above manner, i would like to present to you now, a rather troubled, and highly irritable hedgehog who would get frustrated at the slightest thing, or problem even if it was a teeny weeny one.

i have to end here as i need to settle some other things...will be uploading the last part of the story tmr.


Dear God, it is not easy. you know the most about how i feel and how i think now. I ask of you to help me. I also want to thank you for assuring me in my dream. God, it is tough you know but i still want to thank you for it. but because in your word, you say that you love me, i will trust in your word, I will go through it, be under your process of pruning to be a better person, gf, leader, friend to all around me.

Help me Lord, I don't want to be a snuffed out candle. I want to be a candle shining and burning brightly for you in all aspects. Carry me under your wings for i am unable to stand on my own any longer. Of all times, i am amazed at your wonderful timing in pruning me - right after my exams. God, i wanted to enjoy my holidays but i end up in tears with you every day n night. This is definitely not my idea of fun at all. But if it is your way of fun, then ok. i guess i'll obey you but my heart hurts. it hurts badly. Do you know that God? Why have you broken my heart? now i feel the pain of so many people. I've never felt that before. why God? why? why break my heart? i love both you and him very much. Why drop one 'bomb' after another? Must i go through this God? Dear Lord, this is worse than taking my exams, or receiving results. It is definitely much worse. But i guess, no pruning process is easy and simple. If it is, it is not called pruning. it should be called breezing.

God!, i yell out help at the top of my lungs. salvage this for i can't. No one can, only you. I am willing to be committed and learn. That is my promise and assurance i give to you. In Jesus name, i pray amen... Love, your daughter, nat with the goldfish eyes.
