Talk:Hedgehogs in culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the mammal didn't possess any "righteous" qualities, it never made it to the court art
What does this mean? "The court art"? What are righteous qualities in an animal?
In most European countries, hedgehogs are believed to be a hard-working no-nonsense animal. This partially results from a fact that hedgehogs are believed to be collecting apples and mushrooms and carrying them to their secret storage.
This is terribly rambling and not very clear.
Therefore, hedgehogs are often portrayed carrying apples - partially, to make them look cuter.
The latter sounds like pure supposition to me -- though, granted, a hedgehog carrying an apple WOULD be adorable. ;)
