Agata the owl

Agatha the owl was unusually curious. Other owls in her flock preferred to doze in hollows during the day and glide silently over the forest at night in search of prey. Agatha, however, always found something more interesting to do. Her large, round eyes seemed to absorb everything around her, from the tiniest bug to distant stars. One day, hearing a strange knock coming from an abandoned barn, Agatha could not resist and flew off to investigate. Other owls warned her of danger, but curiosity overcame her fear. Looking through a crack, she saw an old badger making something out of pieces of wood. Holding her breath, Agatha watched him work, forgetting about everything else in the world. The badger, carried away by his work, did not notice the curious eyes watching him from the darkness. Another time, Agatha discovered an old, rusty horseshoe. The horseshoe sparkled in the sun, and Agatha, enchanted by this find, decided to bring it to her hollow. She spent the whole day trying to drag the horseshoe through the narrow entrance, but it just wouldn't fit. Finally, exhausted but happy, she left her "jewel" at the entrance, deciding to admire it later. Agatha's curiosity often led her into funny, and sometimes dangerous, situations. But it was precisely because of her irrepressible curiosity that she knew much more about the forest than all the other owls in her flock. And although the other owls sometimes made fun of her, deep down they admired her courage and thirst for new discoveries.
