Just like with Mrs O, it was as if the voice was coming from inside Aneira’s head and she could hear the words perfectly. It would be so much easier if humans could speak this way too, then she wouldn’t feel so left out all the time. She lifted her head from Mrs O’s back and saw that hanging lanterns had now been lit and were dangling from every available tree branch, giving the old tree a friendly glow. Aneira admired the tree’s red-brown bark and flat cloud-shaped leaves. She gazed down and could see layers of branches beneath them with even more lanterns and green leaves sprouting from them. It was quite a beautiful tree. Then she noticed the owls. All around them on the large tree branches were rows and rows of different coloured owls. At the centre of the tree, in a hollow in its trunk, sat a very large and very old-looking owl. The owl must have been twice the size of Mrs O and its feathers were grey in places. On its head it had a crown of leaves and berries like it was the queen of the forest.

“I’d like you to meet Wise Owl,” said Mrs O.
