Pirrewitje and the Singing Watermill
It was a sunny morning in the forest, and Pirrewitje strolled happily toward the babbling brook near his home. As he got closer, he heard something unusual. The watermill by the old mill was making a melodious sound, as if it were singing!
“That’s strange,” Pirrewitje murmured. “A singing watermill? I need to find out more!”
At the mill, he met Vosje Vlinster, a curious little fox who was also listening. “Do you hear that, Pirrewitje? The watermill is singing, but I don’t understand how!”
Pirrewitje stepped closer and listened carefully. The sound was like a cheerful tune. “Maybe there are musical stones in the brook,” he suggested.
Together, Pirrewitje and Vosje followed the stream. Sure enough, in the clear water, they saw some shimmering stones catching the sunlight. “This must be it!” exclaimed Pirrewitje.
They picked up the stones, and the watermill’s song immediately stopped. Vosje looked disappointed. “Oh no, the song is gone!”
Pirrewitje smiled. “Let’s put the stones back! But maybe we can do something special with them.”
They placed the stones back in the water, but this time in a different order. When the water flowed over them again, the watermill started playing a new tune—one even more joyful than before!
The other forest animals gathered around curiously. “What a beautiful sound!” said Uiltje Wiebel the owl. “Can we all join in?”
Pirrewitje and Vosje collected sticks and pinecones to make a little orchestra. Each animal got an instrument, and soon the forest was filled with lively melodies. It felt like a magical party!
At the end of the day, everyone sat contentedly by the brook. “This was such a musical day,” said Vosje.
“Absolutely,” smiled Pirrewitje. “And tomorrow, we can create another new song!”
Pirrewitje and Vosje Vlinster discover the beauty of the singing watermill, surrounded by shimmering stones and cheerful forest friends. A melodious melody fills the air! 🎶✨🌳
