Ollie the Wise Old Owl

In the deep, dark forest, there lived a wise old owl named Ollie. Ollie had the biggest, sharpest talons you could ever imagine! They helped him swoop down silently to catch his dinner.

One night, Ollie spotted a little mouse named Max, who was very curious about those talons.

“Why do you have such big claws?” Max asked, his eyes wide with wonder.

Ollie smiled and said, “They help me fly and catch my food! But they also remind me to be gentle with my friends.”

And from that day on, Max learned that even the mightiest can be kind!
