In a cozy little town, there lived a watchful owl named Ollie. Ollie had big, bright eyes that sparkled like stars. Every night, he perched on a tall tree, keeping an eye on all the little creatures below.
“Whoo, whoo!” he called, reminding everyone to be careful and stay safe. The rabbits hopped, the squirrels scampered, and the fireflies danced, all under Ollie’s watchful gaze.
One night, a little mouse got lost. Ollie flapped his wings and guided him home. “Thank you, Ollie!” squeaked the mouse.
Being watchful means caring for others, just like Ollie! So, let’s be watchful friends!
