Every early morning the little birds in the wood fly everywhere to wake their animal friends up. One day a big brown owl comes. He wants to join the little birds but they do not want him, because they say he is too big and ugly and he can’t sing. The poor owl hides inside an old black tree. But the night comes again and… fairies arrive. It’s time for the owl to sing his song. He sings beautifully! The fairies start dancing and the night becomes magic!
