- What are you doing here? - asked the Bear.
- Waiting for you to get well, ' replied the Hedgehog.
- Long?
- All winter. I learned that you had too much snow - just dragged all their supplies to you...
And all winter you were sitting beside me on the stool?
- Yes, I fed you broth and fir was applied to the abdomen of dried grass...
- I do not remember, ' said the Bear.
- Still! sighed the Hedgehog. - All winter you said that you are the snowflake. I was so afraid that you will melt away to spring...

- Here we are, talking, talking, the days go by, and we're all talking.
- Speak, - said the Hedgehog.
- Months pass, the clouds are flying, the trees naked, and we all talk.
- Talking.
- And then everything does pass, and you and me only and stay.
- If!
- And what about us?
- We too can fly.
As birds?
Yeah.
- Where?
- South, - said the Hedgehog.

I - run, forest - stands. I emphasize his immobility.

Out of the mist, as out the window, looked out the owl hooted: "yeah! U-GU-GU-GU-GU-GU!.." and vanished in the fog. "Psycho" - thought the Hedgehog, picked up a dry stick and feeling it the fog moved forward.

And today Hedgehog said to the Bear:
- It is so nice that we have each other!
Bear nodded.
- Can you imagine: me, no, you sit alone and talk to no one.
- Where are you?
- I am not.
- It does not happen, - said Bear.
- I think so too, - said the Hedgehog. - But suddenly here - I don't have. You're the one. What are you going to do?
- Will turn everything upside down, and you will be found!
- Not me, nowhere!!!
- Then, then... then I run out in the field, - said Bear. - And scream: "E-e-e-Zhi-and-and-by!", and you will hear and scream: "Medvejonok-o-o-OK!..". Here.
"No," said the Hedgehog. - I haven not. You know?
- What are you bothering me? - the angry Bear. - If you do not, then I'm gone. Understand?...

- Because who, if not you, the stars will be considered! Well I have already and twigs at the ready! These, as it...
- Juniper.
- Juniper!
...The bear talked and talked, and the Hedgehog was thinking:
"Still good that we're back together."
