Hedgehog gets lost in the fog, a bit like Mottsu got lost in a fog of depression
Hedgehog falls into the river, Mottsu stepped into the river
They’re different and the same…
This is how it went for hedgehog;
“I’m in the river. Let the water carry me along decided the hedgehog”
(Oh dear Hedgehog – that’s a bit close to home for me )
“He sighed deeply and began to float down with the current”
(Hedgehog! Mottsu!)
“I’m totally soaked I’ll drown soon”
…and this is where it played out differently for hedgehog than Mottsu;
Suddenly someone touched his paw “Excuse me,” someone said quietly ” Who are you and how did you get here?”
“I’m a hedgehog I fell in the river”
“Then get on my back, I’ll carry you to shore”
“Thankyou”
“Don’t mention it” said that Someone
(Don’t mention it? I am so touched by the generosity of ‘don’t mention it’ that I am left with nothing to say)
This is such a wonderful little film about all sorts of things and particularly about someone who touches your paw just when you need them the most.
…and it is so easy, so natural that it is covered by ‘don’t mention it’
*sigh*
Thank you to my Estonian friend who shared this magical film on Facebook that’s where I discovered it. When we meet in person we talk about owls, pussycats, boats and sailing and next time we will include conversation about journeys through the fog – wishing her success in her exams and looking forward to tea and jam together xxx
