00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.399
Pip knew every inch of the ancient woodland,

00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:05.940
but today the forest floor felt entirely new.

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:08.820
Shafts of soft sunlight pierced the dense canopy

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:12.119
overhead, casting golden, dancing spotlights

00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.160
across the emerald -green mossy carpet.

00:00:14.779 --> 00:00:17.000
It was a morning made for wandering, and

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.940
Pip, a remarkably small hedgehog with a very

00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:20.160
big

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.379
sense of adventure, had places to be.

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.920
He trotted along steadily, his tiny black nose

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.800
twitching as he catalogued the rich,

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.559
earthy sense of damp soil and awakening life.

00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.159
Around him, a colorful village of wild mushrooms

00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.759
had sprouted overnight like tiny red -end white

00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:37.000
-capped

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:37.640
houses.

00:00:38.299 --> 00:00:41.439
Pip paused to inspect a particularly plump toadstool,

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.619
his detailed spines bristling slightly

00:00:43.619 --> 00:00:45.899
as a stray drop of morning dew fell

00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:47.679
from a fern frond onto his back.

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.899
He crinkled his snout, shook the droplet off,

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.320
and continued his journey through a rustling

00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.520
sea of crisp, golden fallen leaves that whispered

00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:57.340
beneath his paws.

00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.679
His destination was the sunlit clearing near the

00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:02.880
old oak root, where the sweetest fallen

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.239
crabapples always gathered.

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.920
As he rounded a cluster of moss -covered

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.700
stones, Pip spotted his prize waiting in the

00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:09.939
warm

00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:10.719
glow of the sun.

00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.700
With a triumphant little grunt, he rolled a

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:16.219
miniature red apple onto his back, securing

00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:18.980
it proudly among his quills, and waddled off

00:01:18.980 --> 00:01:21.700
into the deep green shadows, a tiny legend

00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:23.420
of the forest on an important mission.
