In the middle of a cheerful rainforest, full of swinging monkeys and sleepy sloths, lived a brightly feathered parrot named Rollo. He was cheerful by day; mimicking laughter, chirping songs, and shouting “HELLO!” to anyone who passed.

But as soon as the sun dipped below the trees and the stars blinked awake… something changed.

Rollo only spoke in rhymes.

“If you’re cold, wear something tight, or cuddle close and hold on tight!”

The other animals were puzzled. “Why do you rhyme at night?” asked a confused turtle.

Rollo would simply smile and say, “That answer must wait for another day!”

The Midnight Quest

That night, led by Rollo’s rhyming riddles, the animals set off. Through brambles and beneath glowing mushrooms, past waterfalls and moonlit stones—they followed his singsong voice.

“Step with care on mossy toes, beneath the roots a secret grows.”

They found a hidden glade where glowing flowers bloomed in a circle, the ring Rollo had spoken of. At its center was a crystal that pulsed with gentle light.

“It’s the Heart of the Forest,” whispered an owl. “It keeps balance in our jungle.”

The crystal had gone dim—but now, with the animals gathered and Rollo’s riddles guiding them, it began to glow once more.
