A hedgehog leaves his small, familiar garden to go out see the big world. During his encounters with others, he is instantly spotted as a stranger. The characters he gets to meet let him know that only if he completely adapts to their way of living they will accept him. The stranger does his very best to comply, up to the point of denying his own personality. However, since the story was written for children, there is a happy end and the hero remains true to himself. In the end, he leaves the unfriendly place and goes away to – no, not back to his garden. Somewhere, there must be a place where he can be just how he is – spiny, short-legged, a hedgehog!
