The Village of Seven Chimneys

In a green valley, a village is known for its seven tall chimneys, each producing a different kind of weather, from gentle rain to soft clouds. The villagers cherish this magic yet quarrel endlessly about which weather is best, and the chimneys, trying to satisfy everyone, release a confused mix of rain, sun, snow and fog that leaves people bumping into one another. Nine-year-old Clara, curious and fair-minded, with curly black hair and a red knitted cardigan, sets out to untangle the muddle.

With Grandpa Ollie, the old weather keeper, and her goat Pip, Clara sketches a simple chart of seven boxes and suggests each chimney take turns at set times. Farmers wish for morning rain, animals need cool mist at noon, and families long for afternoon sunshine. The tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN follows the quiet daily work of putting this plan into practice, and it can be read on Online Masal. Suited to early primary years and read-aloud sharing, it shows turn-taking and patience turning a noisy quarrel into a calm rhythm.
