The Midnight Orchard

Luna the fawn is a curious wanderer, and one evening she discovers a hidden orchard where the trees are quiet and only tiny green buds cling to the branches. A small wooden sign reveals that this is a magic orchard where apples appear at midnight, and visitors are asked to be patient. But midnight is hours away, and Luna's impatience gets the better of her.

When silver apples begin to glow like little moons, Luna reaches for one too early, and it vanishes into a puff of silver dust. A wise old hedgehog spirit, the orchard's gardener, gently explains that the apples must be shared fairly and that picking them too soon makes them disappear. With help from a young rabbit named Pip, Luna learns to wait, listening to stories while a great horned owl keeps watch. This gentle tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN teaches patience and fair sharing, and it can be read on Online Masal.
