The Tent

Leo did not appreciate being carried out the house, but strangely he seemed to have no opinion on whether he was a porcupine or not...
But it was now a race for survival, it was a known fact that within a hour of a human turning into a porcupine they would grow to an amazing size. As soon as he was big enough to be spotted, Leo realised hurricane Jessica would pounce and possibly blow him into the well!
Being a clever fellow, he decided he would have to hide out in a inconspicuous place for the time being. So he went to B&Q and bought a bright yellow tent in the hope it would blend in with the Sun.
How Leo seemed to pay for this tent we may never know, but he did, and a couple of minutes later he was back and putting the tent up next to the well.
Leo, however, was no human-to-porcupine morphing expert, and did not realise how big he would grow. But we shall leave him to do as he wishes, and get into the cramped tent.


Half an hour later...


The seams were bursting, and there was a pling, pling, pling as the tent was pushed apart from the inside. Leo had grown to a massive size, even for a porcupine. Suddenly the tent spontaneously combusted, and Leo the porcupine was sat in the glaring sunlight of the afternoon, awaitng Hurricane Jessica's treatment. It did not take long before she smelled the smell of fire. She was very careful when she smelt that smell, and she went on her way towards the well....
