The Tale of Ollie the Tree

Once upon a time, in a cozy little village, there lived an old tree named Ollie. Ollie was not just any tree; he had seen many seasons come and go!

His branches were strong, and his leaves whispered stories of the past. The children loved to play around him, climbing and laughing.

They would ask Ollie about the old days, and he would tell them tales of brave knights and magical creatures.

Ollie taught the kids that being old is special because it means you have lots of stories to share.

So, remember, every old thing has a story waiting to be told!
