Synopsis
Hedgehog and Tortoise are both feeling very sad and know that only a hug will cheer them up. They each ask various animals for a hug, but everyone declines—Hedgehog is too spiky, and Tortoise is too bony. Guided by a wise owl, they eventually find each other and share the perfect hug, realising that there's someone for everyone.
