Croche, look what name means "frostbitten"?

- Apple? Yablokov? And, Apple!
- Polycarp-secession.
- Nyusha, it's a male name.
- Exactly...

- Look! - said the Hedgehog and showed the Bear mushroom-the Fox. Small Golden mushroom, turn the knees, in the twilight, was sitting in the moss.
- See? - said the Hedgehog. - He has neither father nor mother, neither a Hedgehog nor a Bear, he's all alone and not crying.

- Because it's spring, so it appeared!
- And because we really wanted!

- Get away from my barrels!
- Well, she's a barrel of honey. Only honey eat and nothing will remain and the horse...
- What about the horse?
- ... and the horse is a horse!

Is she afraid of you!
- Who? My barrel?
- No, my horse.

- If we survive, we will all uneasy!
- And if not?
- Let's talk about boring now we will not think!

And even the paws are not visible.

- With whom are you friends? With me or the Hare?
- With you! And with the Hare!
And I'm friends with you, okay?
- And me without a Hare can not be friends, okay?

- When you were gone, where have you ever been?
- Yeah.
- Where?
- There, - said the Hedgehog and waved a paw.
- Far?
The hedgehog cringed and closed his eyes.

- I'd like to know what is most wanted? - to think, said Bear, Hedgehog. - I would most like to have on each of your needle rose on the cone.
- What would rose then?
- And then you'd become a real tree and lived for a hundred years.
- That's good... But how would you talk to me?
- I would climb to the very top and whispered benevolent.

After a long separation, they sat on the porch and, as usual, talking.
- How nice that you have found, ' said the Bear.
I came.
- Do you know if you didn't have?
- Here I come.
- Where have you been?
- And I was not, - said the Hedgehog.

- And here you are! said the Bear, one day waking up and seeing on your porch Hedgehog.
- J.
- Where have you been?
- I very long time was not, - said the Hedgehog.
- When lost, it is necessary in advance to warn their friends.

- I will, you hear? I'm sure, ' said Bear. The hedgehog nodded.
- I will come to you, no matter what happens. I'll be near you always.
The hedgehog looked at the Bear quiet eyes and was silent.
- Why are you silent?
- I believe, - said the Hedgehog.
