Daniel: He was probably hoping you’d give him some food.
Brian: No, he catches his own food such as worms and that kinds of
things in the garden. Though, I sometimes give him dog food and milk.
He really likes milk.
Daniel: Hmm… Somebody told me that hedgehogs are active at night
and sleep in the daytime. Then, that’s great! You know he’s there, but
you never see him!
Brian: Well, that’s not completely true! He does sleep a lot during the
day, but he comes out in the evenings, especially in the summer. And,
you told me that your dog sleeps a lot, too.
Daniel: That’s true. But, he does wake up for a walk at least!
Brian: I think hedgehogs are friendly animals, though. When my sister
had her birthday party in the garden, he came out and sat close to the
table. How cute!
Daniel: I still believe dogs are friendlier. My dog sits under the table
when we have dinner.
Brian: Of course he does since he’s always hungry.
Daniel: Well…
Brian: And, what happens when you and your family go to Madrid on
holiday?
Daniel: Hmm. Sometimes one of our cousins looks after him. But, as
he is so big, they don’t really like doing it, so we often have to put him
in kennels.
Brian: Do you think he likes that?
Daniel: In fact, he hates it.
