Hedgehog

A child was telling his class a story,
Just the other day,
About how they were getting a hedgehog,
And with it they could play.
The teacher was quite perplexed,
Saying, "I am quite confused,
There are no hedgehogs in Australia."
She was quite bemused.
The child answered confidently,
"I'm not making silly wishes,
Mummy she'd give Dad a hedgehog,
If he did the dishes" …

True story - teachers often have to cover up then forget tales like this one.
