Seeking refuge from the cold, a porcupine asked to share a cave for the winter with a family of moles. The moles agreed. But because the cave was small, they soon found they were being scratched each time the porcupine moved about. Finally, they asked the porcupine to leave. But the porcupine refused, saying, "if you moles are not satisfied, I suggest that you leave." What is your age? Gender? Do you agree with the moles or the porcupines? Why?
