''The closet nest''

In the middle of October, as the nights grew colder and the ceaseless rain soaked the earth, a small hedgehog named Moana (At first i named him '' Sonic'',but on the third day i relaized ''he'' was a female,as she became comfortable enough to show her belly) found herself in a rather uncomfortable predicament. Moana, like her hedgehog companions, had intended to prepare for a cozy slumber in a well-insulated nest, a sanctuary from the biting cold and unrelenting rain that had become all too common lately. However, life had other plans for her.

As the days grew shorter and the air chillier, Moana realized she had made a grave miscalculation. She had become so engrossed in snacking on delicious insects and worms during the summer and early autumn that she had neglected to gather twigs, leaves, and other nesting materials. Now, the weather had taken a harsh turn, and Moana was ill-prepared for the chilly nights that lay ahead.

One particularly gloomy evening, with the rain pouring down and the temperature plummeting to near freezing, Moana found herself shivering and soaked in the middle of a damp garden. Her spiky coat was no longer sufficient to keep her warm, and she desperately needed shelter. As she ventured further, she stumbled upon a welcoming sight: a light on the ground floor balcony of the building.

A kind-hearted man, named Haris, lived in this apartmant. Haris had a love for nature and had a particular fondness for the feline friends that kept him company. One evening, as he sat on his balcony, he saw Moana approaching, moving with slow determination. It was as if the little hedgehog had come to the balcony, not by accident, but with a purpose, as if she was asking for help.

Moana approached the balcony fence and curled up, hiding herself behind her quills. She needed help, but at the same time, fear gripped her. Without hesitation, Haris jumped over the balcony and gently picked up Moana. He carried her inside to introduce her to his family and cats and to create a shelter for her. It was clear that the little hedgehog needed help.

I could get used to this

With Moana safely sheltered, Haris couldn't help but smile. He had a soft spot for all living beings, and the sight of Moana finding solace in his closet warmed his heart. In the following days, Haris continued to care for his unexpected guest, keeping a watchful eye through the small

Where am I? ''Is this a 5 star hotel''?

He shared some of the cat food he provided for his feline companions with Moana, making sure the hedgehog had a regular supply of nourishment. Haris's cats, though curious, watched the new arrival with tolerance, perhaps sensing that Moana was not a threat but rather a fellow creature seeking a temporary sanctuary.

''Damn those security cameras follow me everywhere! Hey! Im just taking my food back that you gave to this toothpick behind me!

''How come Hodge's food tastes better than mine,,,Oh human,you're hiding the good stuffs for others''

The days turned into week, and Moana spent the cold October inside the closet, basking in the kindness of a human she would never forget. The bond between them grew stronger, and as the weather slowly improved, Moana felt a deep gratitude toward the man who had rescued her.

When the time came for Moana to prepare for her proper hibernation, she left the closet, well-fed, and healthy, her heart filled with appreciation for the compassion she had encountered. She found a suitable nest and slumbered through the rest of the autumn and winter, safe and sound.

''I hope i won't have to pay rent''

In the following spring, Moana awoke to the warmth of the sun and the promise of another season. She knew that she owed a debt of gratitude to Haris, the man who had offered her warmth, shelter, and nourishment when she needed it most. Although they were different species, the bond between them was a testament to the kindness and compassion that transcended the boundaries of the animal kingdom.
