Vivian Porcupine
By Rhonda Rice. 2024
Do you ever wish you had brown hair instead of blond, blue eyes instead of green, or were shorter instead…
of taller? Vivian thought she wanted to change something about herself, so she gave her quills to all of her friends. They were all very creative when they put them to use. Some used them for a favorite hobby, some were used in sports, some for cleaning and gardening and others used them for their favorite pastime. It made Vivian happy that her friends could use the quills, but she also had to make herself feel happy. She changed back to the Vivian that she loved and was most comfortable. She even looked like a porcupine again!The Curious Case of the Missing Shoes
