A Hedgehog lived in one forest. You know how hedgehogs usually are - businesslike and respectable, they often like to rustle their needles in the grass at night. And this Hedgehog loved to dream at night. Sometimes he didn’t do it alone - the Hedgehog had an acquaintance, Star. It's good to have someone to share your dreams with. Unfortunately, they could not see each other often: sometimes clouds prevented them, and sometimes the Earth turned the wrong way and prevented them from meeting. “Just think,” the little star sometimes exclaimed, “the law of universal gravitation separates us!”
After a long separation, the Hedgehog usually said:
- Star, I miss you very much. I've been waiting for you for so long - almost an eternity!
“You know how strong circumstances can be sometimes,” said the Star.
“Yes, I know,” sighed the Hedgehog.
And they didn't say anything else. They dreamed quietly together.
And when morning approached, the Star said:
- I have to go.
“I will wait for you,” said the Hedgehog, “I know that this will again be a very long time, but I will still wait for you, come back soon!”
“I’ll be back, you know,” said the Star.
“Yes, I know,” Hedgehog smiled.
After all, it is so important to know that the one you are waiting for will definitely return, despite even universal laws.
