📜 The Story of The Wise-Looking Owl
🌲 A Curious Rabbit in the Forest
Deep in the heart of an ancient forest, a young rabbit named Benny loved to ask questions. He was always curious about everything around him.
One day, Benny heard the other animals whispering about an old, wise-looking owl that lived in a tall oak tree. 🦉
“The owl is the smartest creature in the forest!” said the deer.
“He knows everything!” added the squirrel.
Benny, full of excitement, decided to visit the owl and learn the secret to being wise.
🦉 Meeting the Owl
Benny hopped through the woods until he reached the grand oak tree. There, sitting on a high branch, was the owl—his feathers were gray, and his eyes were large and round.
“Oh, Wise Owl,” Benny said eagerly, “I want to be wise like you! What is your secret?”
The owl blinked slowly and remained silent.
Benny tried again. “Please, tell me how to be wise!”
Still, the owl said nothing.
Benny thought, “He must be very wise if he does not speak much!”
The little rabbit left the tree, believing that staying silent must be the secret to wisdom.
🐇 Benny’s Big Mistake
The next day, Benny saw his friends playing by the river.
“Benny, come join us!” called the fox.
But Benny remembered the silent owl and decided not to speak. He just stared at his friends.
“Why aren’t you talking?” asked the turtle.
Benny simply blinked like the owl and said nothing.
His friends laughed. “Benny thinks that staying quiet makes him wise!” they joked.
Benny felt confused and embarrassed. “Did I do something wrong?” he wondered.
🦉 The Owl’s Real Lesson
That evening, Benny returned to the wise-looking owl.
“Owl, I stayed silent like you, but it did not make me wise. What did I do wrong?”
The owl finally spoke in a calm voice:
“Wisdom is not about staying silent, little rabbit. It is about listening, thinking, and learning before you speak.”
Benny’s eyes widened in understanding.
“So, to be wise, I must listen carefully, learn new things, and speak when I have something thoughtful to say?” he asked.
The owl nodded.
From that day on, Benny became a great listener and a thoughtful speaker. Soon, the other animals respected him, and he truly became wise—not just in looks, but in heart. 💡🌟
🌍 Moral of the Story
