In a forest so green, not often seen, lived animals of all kinds, big and small. From the chatty chipmunks to the noisy nightingales, they all lived together, in this magical tale.
But one curious day, something strange came their way. Their chatter turned to clatter when they discovered they could speak and chatter!
The chipmunks chimed, the nightingales neighed, the bunnies bantered, and the deer had something to say. It was a hullabaloo of sounds, spreading through the woods, all around.
The wise old owl suggested they visit the wise and wondrous witch, to unravel this fantastic and furry glitch!
The witch, with her wand, sang a spell with a swoosh, and the animals went silent with a sudden whoosh!
The silence didn't last, as they realized speaking was in the heart, not tied to a spell that would soon depart. So, they continued to chatter, with joy and with clatter, grateful for the gift that made their hearts fatter.
From that day on in the wonderful wood, the animals spoke freely and truly, as only animals could!
