    In the heart of the jungle, Oli, a wise old owl, perched high on a tree branch, his keen eyes observing the surroundings. His wisdom was well respected amongst the other animals.

    One day, a young rabbit named Rozi hopped over to Oli. She was worried about the upcoming harvest festival and was unsure of what she could contribute.

    Oli listened attentively to Rozi's worries. He then advised her, 'Instead of worrying about what you can give, think about what you enjoy doing. Your passion will shine through, making your contribution truly special.'

    Inspired by Oli's words, Rozi decided to make her famous carrot cake for the festival. She set to work, gathering the ingredients she would need.
