📝 Quick summary of key information
Why do hedgehogs roll into a ball?
The hedgehog is a small mammal known for its ability to roll into a ball. When it feels in danger, it turns into a ball of sharp spikes, scaring away predators.
Hedgehogs live in different places, like gardens, forests, and meadows. They love spots with lots of hiding places, where they can feel safe.
The hedgehog eats many different things. It mostly eats insects, worms, snails, and sometimes small fruits. It is a real garden cleaner!
The hedgehog is a nighttime animal. This means it is active at night and sleeps during the day. It builds cozy nests with leaves and twigs to rest in.

Noa and the Game of Spikes
Why do hedgehogs curl up into a ball?
Noa's Reaction
After exploring a huge forgotten cave (1), Milo and Noa discover a new tunnel (2). As they venture into this narrow passage, a strange noise surprises them. By reflex (3), Noa curls up into a ball, while Milo, always curious, heads towards the noise, closely followed by Noa, who, despite being careful, doesn't want to miss out on this new adventure (4).
Milo, curious, asks:
« What is that? »
Noa, after listening carefully, says:
« It sounds like it's coming from over there. We should go and check. »
Milo, curious, says:
« That's weird. »
Noa, curious, whispers:
« I agree with you. But what is that? »
After hearing the noise, Noa curls up into a ball. Milo watches his friend. He wonders why Noa is reacting this way. Milo quickly understands that Noa is protecting himself instinctively (5). The noise comes from a stone rolling softly.
When they lift it, they find a carved symbol, a clue to the hidden treasure!
The Mysterious Symbol
With this stone holding the symbol, a riddle (6) seems to echo between the narrow walls. It is decided to follow their instinct to find their way. By following this secret path, another underground friend, much more greedy than them, is discovered. But why do shrews always eat? Tired but happy, Milo and Noa rest for a moment before continuing their exploration. They know that new adventures await them underground, and they are ready to discover all the mysteries (7) of the Underground Kingdom.
Milo, curious, exclaims:
« Noa, look! »
Noa, curious, asks:
« What is that? »
Milo, excited, shouts:
« Another symbol! »
Noa, curious, asks:
« Where did you find this symbol? »
Milo, after looking at the stone, tells Noa:
« I found it carved on this stone that we just moved. »
Milo and Noa look at the stone. They are amazed by the symbols carved on it. They understand that each symbol guides them to a hidden treasure. They decide to continue their adventure. They know that each discovery brings them closer to the mystery of the underground.
