In the middle of a dark forest, there is an owl (猫头鹰). All the animals know that he is the smartest among all of them. So they often go to him and tell him their troubles. Then the owl always teaches them what they should do.
One day, a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. “What’s wrong with you?” asks the owl.
“I’m not happy at all. I don’t want to be a bird,” the bird says.
“Why don’t you want to be a bird?” asks the owl.
“I am so small, weak and useless,” she cries. “I want to be big and strong like the lion. He is very important, but I am not. ”
Then the owl whispers something in her ear. At once the bird dries her tears and goes away. One week later, the bird comes back. “Oh, thank you very much.

Then my friends all run. They are very thankful to me. I am useful and important now.”
