In a sunny meadow full of clover and buzzing bees lives a young hedgehog named Pip, who loves three things most of all: racing fast, building twig forts, and winning every game he plays. His best friend is Fern, a soft gray rabbit with long floppy ears and a kind, easy smile. Then comes the race to the old oak stump — and Fern wins. As she hops a joyful circle around the stump ('I finally won!'), something hot and prickly bubbles up in Pip's chest, and mean words come out: 'You only won because I tripped. It doesn't even count.' Fern's ears droop. 'I practiced all week,' she whispers. 'I wanted you to be proud of me.' Pip stomps home — and that night, curled up tight in his burrow like a fist, he knows he has to say sorry. But every time he tries, his whole body curls tighter. Hedgehogs curl up to protect their soft parts — but as Grandma Hazel gently shows him, an un-said sorry hurts most of all. A warm, honest story about losing gracefully, jealousy, and the courage to apologize.
