The Hungry Badger Who Ate Too Many Badges

The hungry badger's belly rumbled, he went walking in the woods, slipped and tumbled. That is how he got his stripes, and why his fur is not all white. He loved to snoot and snout about, looking for beetles, though he sometimes found nowt. No wonder the badger was a hungry chap, the only thing he found in the wood was mushrooms, toadstools and stuff ... and that wasn't enough ! The hungry badger went to town ... where he found one or two badges looking around. He gobbled them all - in one big bite - luckily there were stacks to quench his hungry badger appetite. The hungry badger licked his lips - the tastiest badge was on the top shelf (but it was worth the trip !). The hungry badger wagged his tail ... looking for badges, he hoped he'd not fail.
