*** THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS PIECE ***

Hedgehogs are creatures native of Europe and parts of Africa. Legend says that when it is time for the harvest, they go into a vineyard, and climbing up a vine, shakes the grapes off onto the ground. It then rolls around on the fallen grapes to spear them with its quills, so it can carry the fruit home to feed its young.(Some say that the fruit the hedgehog carries away is the apple or fig.)
