In The Whispering Forest, Olly the Owl was sick and sad.
Many animals visited Olly.
Xandra, the forest guardian, came to visit Olly too and brought him a gift — an enchanted treasure chest of love. Xandra told the animals, “If you do something that makes Olly feel loved and happy, one of the hearts on this treasure chest of love will light up. When all the hearts light up, the treasure chest will open, and you will find a cure for Olly.”
The animals decided to help Olly to feel better.
“I made some hot soup to warm you up,” said Terry the Turtle. The first heart lit up.
The second heart lit up.“I brought you some fruit and a flower,” said Skylar the Squirrel.
The third heart lit up.“I brought you some photos that I took to show you that the world is beautiful and that it’s more beautiful with you,” said Kole the Koala.
The fourth heart lit up.“I drew some smiles for you, hoping that when you see them, you’ll smile too,” said Reggie the Raccoon.
The fifth heart lit up.“I will sing a special song for you because you are special,” said Frankie the Frog.
The sixth heart lit up.“I will play a beautiful melody with all my heart for you,” said Shay the Swan.
The seventh heart lit up.“People say clovers bring good luck, so I brought a clover for you. I hope it brings you luck,” said Kerry the Kitten.
The eighth heart lit up.“I would like to show you some new tricks that I learned recently,” said Monty the Monkey.
The ninth heart lit up.“I brought you some toys; let’s play together!” said Finn the Fox.
The tenth heart lit up.“I will cheer for you when life is hard,” said Billy the Bunny.
The eleventh heart lit up.“I will pray for you always,” said Marley the Mouse.
The twelfth heart lit up.“I will shelter you from the rain,” said Phoenix the Penguin.
The thirteenth heart lit up.“I will be by your side,” said Tyler the Turkey.
