Echidna and Platypus Besties

The echidna and the platypus were friends. They both had a teeny tiny secret, one and the other. The sweet platypus had venom on his ends. He was told to keep this hidden by his mother. The short-nosed echidna could lay eggs as well as a wren. She was told to keep this under wraps, by her brother. Their love for eating worms and insects made them friends. That was something they could talk about with each other. Echidna’s spikes were dangerous on the ends. Most certainly out in the open, not hidden from platypus. Platypus’s five sharpie claws helped make them friends. He could dig insects up for his mate, Echidna, without fuss. The platypus’s venom reveal might have meant no friendship, He retained this secret; he kept it under lock and key. Echidna’s secret would have given them another reason for kinship, If she had discovered that Platypus can lay eggs like me.
