The Porcupine Who Couldn't Make Up His M

The Porcupine Who Couldn't Make Up His Mind

There once was a porcupine who couldn't decide,
Should he stay in his burrow or go outside?
Something might happen, he had no doubt,
If he left his safe burrow and dared to go out.

This is the story of a timid porcupine trying hard to get up the courage to venture out into the world outside his burrow.

"My quills will protect me, I suppose,
But I don't have a single quill on my nose.
No matter how careful I would be,
I might get stung by an angry bee.
And even worse than a bee attack,
What if I'm lost and can't find my way back?

Do I want to go out anyway?
Maybe I'll just stay home today."

- From The Porcupine Who Couldn't Make Up His Mind, English Version.
