Gerald the Hedgehog

I would like you all to meet Gerald. Gerald the Hedgehog. Gerald has had a harrowing tale of abandonment and really hot pavement.

This is Gerald:

Yesterday my family and I (sans my brother and plus my sister's boyfriend) went to Six Flags.

We had a great time, and on the way to the water rafting ride, I came across an orange fuzzy stuffed animal that was lying in the middle of the park. After a few moments hesitation I walked over and picked him up. Looking around for it's owner, I saw that no one was coming rushing up to claim him. I felt so bad for the little boy or girl that had accidentally dropped him, but seeing as how there was nothing I could do. I took him with me.

He had a wonderful rest of the day. After being so lonely, lying there without a friend in the world, he was grateful that I decided to take it upon myself to rescue him from the abuse of the unforgiving sun. Waiting for a ride, he was named Gerald.

He was really excited to go on the water rafting ride, especially because he was given the task of protecting our belongings from getting soaking wet while on the ride. He got a little scared for a moment cause he couldn't see anything, but after he got over it he had a lot of fun and barely got wet.

Now he has a permanent home and is very content. Hopefully nothing so horrible as being abandoned at Six Flags after having been won by a carnival game will ever happen again.
