Read the story Easy English

On an old oak tree in a quiet open forest lived an owl named Olive. Olive had oversized round eyes that glowed like orange orbs at night. Her eyes were much bigger than those of the other owls. The other owls had ordinary eyes and thought Olive looked odd. Some owls made small jokes about her. Olive felt out of place and stayed alone on one branch. She loved looking at the open sky and noticing small objects.

One night, a dark shadow covered the forest, and the sky turned overcast. The moon was out of sight, and the forest became very dark and silent. The little animals felt afraid because they could not see where to go. Even the other owls found it hard to see in the dark. Olive opened her wide glowing eyes and saw safe paths in the darkness. She gently told the animals to follow her and stay close.

Olive flew slowly above the forest, watching every open path. She guided the animals safely across old roots and small streams to their homes. Soon, the clouds moved away, and the moon shone again. The animals smiled and thanked Olive for helping them see. Olive felt happy and light inside. From that night on, everyone respected Olive as a wise and gentle leader.
