Fast asleep

When I walked my youngest daughter to school this morning, we found a little hedgehog fast asleep on a bench in the playground. We can't imagine how it could have climbed onto the bench so it must have tried to get down, realized it couldn't and fell asleep with frustration or exhaustion. We made sure it was in safety before all the other kids arrived and started prodding it. And when we moved it, it didn't wake up ! Funny little creatures !
