The Squirrel's Telescope

Oliver is a squirrel with russet-orange fur, small round glasses and a little red scarf, living in a cozy oak tree at the forest's edge. He gathers shiny stones and old pieces of glass, and his tree house holds jars of these glittering finds. His best friend, Hazel the rabbit, enjoys hearing his stories about the treasures he collects. Inspired by an old book discovered under a log, Oliver decides to build a telescope from a hollow branch and his finest glass pieces.

His early attempts turn out blurry, but Hazel brings snacks during long nights of tinkering and Bramble the old hedgehog offers advice about lenses. Oliver keeps polishing and adjusting until the image grows sharp. Written by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN, this tale follows his patient work and the friends who stand beside him. Young readers can find the story on Online Masal, where it celebrates curiosity, perseverance and the pleasure of sharing a discovery with others.
