The Owl's Secret Clock

In the heart of an old oak forest, Olive the owl wears a tiny brass clock on a leather cord and a deep-blue knitted scarf. This clock is special: it can pause dreams, and Olive uses it gently to help anyone trapped in a bad dream find a way out. She listens to the forest's whispers and waits for those who need her.

One quiet night, Olive hears a scared squeak from a hollow log and discovers Pip, a little dormouse in a pale-green nightcap, clutching a cream blanket. Pip is afraid to sleep because the same frightening dream keeps returning: she is running through dark tunnels and cannot find her way home. Olive wraps her scarf around the trembling dormouse and explains how the clock works. Ebru Mina TOMURCUK's tale can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr, where the story shows how a friend's steady support makes fears easier to face.
