Hausa - Kurega da bushiya - the squirrel and the hedgehog
The Ground Squirrel and the Hedgehog:—One day it was raining: the hedgehog greeted the squirrel saying, "How do you like the cold? Is there anywhere I can shelter?" The squirrel replied, "I'm well, thank God. Here's a little place, enter!" They then lived together, but after a while the squirrel said, "Hedgehog! This stay of yours with me is unpleasant, your body is all prickles. Change your abode!" The hedgehog said, "Is that so? As for me, I enjoy it: the one whom this place doesn't suit, shouldn't he change it for another?"
