In a thick forest in Norway, there live all kinds of animals. There are wise owls, lively squirrels, simple - minded bears, and swift hares. However, recently, there have been quite a few conflicts among the animals.
The squirrel complains that the hare always runs around the place where it stores food, making a mess everywhere. But the hare thinks the squirrel is making a fuss over nothing. When the bear was fishing by the river, it accidentally splashed water onto the fox's newly - built den. The fox was very angry, but the bear thought the fox's den was too close to the river.
Everyone was quarreling endlessly, and the whole forest was filled with a tense atmosphere. At this time, the wise owl stepped forward. The owl lives on a tall tree and can see a lot of things happening in the forest.
The owl first flew to the place where the squirrel and the hare were. It said to the squirrel, "The hare runs so fast that it doesn't notice your food storage place. You can make a small mark around it, so that the hare will know not to run around randomly." Then it said to the hare, "When you play in the forest, you should also pay attention to other small animals' things. Everyone should respect each other." The hare and the squirrel thought what the owl said was very reasonable, and they stopped quarreling.
Then, the owl came to the riverside where the bear and the fox were. The owl said to the bear, "Bear, you should be more careful when fishing. The fox will be very sad if its den gets wet." Then it said to the fox, "Fox, your den is indeed a little too close to the river. It's inevitable that there will be water splashing out when the bear is fishing." The owl suggested that the fox move its den a little to the side, and the bear should be more careful when fishing in the future. The bear and the fox also forgave each other after hearing what the owl said.
Since then, the animals in the forest have regained their former harmony. They understand mutual tolerance and understanding better, and when encountering problems, they will also use wisdom to solve them like the owl. And the wise owl still stands quietly on the branch, guarding this vibrant forest.
