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.

Rozi worked tirelessly, mixing, baking and decorating. She poured all her love and passion into making the cake, hoping everyone would enjoy it.

Finally, the cake was ready. It looked beautiful, and the delicious aroma made Rozi's heart swell with pride and anticipation.

On the day of the festival, Rozi brought her cake to the gathering. She was nervous but also excited. Oli gave her an encouraging nod.

When it was time to present her cake, Rozi held her breath. The animals tasted it and their faces lit up with delight. The cake was a hit!

Rozi felt a warm glow of satisfaction and pride. She had been so worried about what to contribute, but her cake had turned out to be the star of the festival.

Oli, seeing Rozi's joy, felt proud. His wisdom had helped Rozi believe in herself, and she had succeeded.

From that day onwards, Rozi never doubted her abilities. She was always ready to explore her passions, trusting herself to make a meaningful contribution.

And Oli, the wise old owl, continued to guide the animals of the jungle with his everlasting wisdom, teaching them to believe in themselves and their abilities.
