Ollie Learns to Listen

Ollie the Owl Who Learned to Listen --- Ollie the owl believed he knew everything

because he read many books and stayed awake all night watching the forest. One evening,

while giving advice to everyone, he didn’t notice a young mouse quietly trying to explain

where the food was hidden. Ollie kept talking until the rain began and the forest grew

dark. Finally, he stopped and listened. The mouse’s idea helped all the animals

find shelter under a hollow tree just in time. As they stayed warm and dry together,

Ollie felt a gentle lesson settle in his heart, understanding that wisdom doesn’t come

from speaking the most, but from listening carefully to others.
