Oliver was exploring the edge of the woods when the sun began to set. Under a prickly bush, he saw two glowing eyes. It was Finnie, a small fox who was very frightened of the long shadows. Oliver reached out a hand to show he was a kind friend. The little fox shivered as the very first stars appeared in the purple sky.

Don't worry, Finnie, Oliver said with a warm smile. Oliver decided to help Finnie find the perfect spot for his very first night in the forest. They walked past the whispering willow trees and through the tall, tickly grass. Oliver held a small lantern that cast a golden glow on the path. Finnie stayed very close to the boots of Oliver as they moved deeper into the woods.

Suddenly, a giant shadow stretched across the mossy ground! Finnie let out a tiny whimper and hid behind the legs of Oliver. Oliver looked up and saw a round owl sitting on a sturdy branch. It is just Barnaby the Owl, Oliver explained gently. The owl gave a friendly hoot and blinked his big yellow eyes at the pair.
"Owls have special feathers that allow them to fly silently through the trees."

They found an old hollow log near a bubbling stream, but the moss inside felt a bit chilly. Oliver took off his soft blue scarf and tucked it into the log to make a bed. This will keep you toasty and warm, Oliver whispered. Finnie sniffed the scarf and realized it smelled like sunshine and friendship. The little fox started to wag his white-tipped tail with joy.

Finnie curled up into a fuzzy ball inside the cozy log. He was not scared of the dark anymore because Oliver was such a good helper. Oliver patted the head of Finnie and promised to visit again tomorrow morning. As Oliver walked home under the bright moon, he felt very proud of his brave new friend. Finnie drifted off to sleep, dreaming of forest adventures.
