The Strangedooking Porcupine 
The porcupine lived in a 
hole at the base of a 
large hemlock tree. He 
was a slow and dull- 
witted creature with only 
Nature to protect him. 
Every evening he came 
out and climbed a near-by 
tree where he made a 
meal on the tender bark. 
This bark-eating habit 
killed many of the trees. 
One day when he was 
walking through the 
woods in search of a new 
place to feed, he was spied 
by a young fox which had 
never seen a porcupine.
