Once upon a time, in a quiet little town, lived a boy named Mark. He loved owls more than anything. 

Every year, Mark and his friends celebrated owls. They made owl masks, played owl games, ate owl-shaped cakes, told stories about magical owls, and called owls in the night. Everyone in the town loved listening to the hoots and talking about these wise, mysterious birds.

One day, Mark had a big dream. 'I want the whole world to celebrate owls!' he said. But how? He was just one boy in one town. 

Then, Mark had an idea! He called his friends and cousins from all over the world. 'Come to my town! Let's celebrate owls together!' And they did. They laughed, danced, and learned amazing facts.

Soon, the love for owls spread across the world.

Now, people everywhere celebrate Owlember, the Festival of Owls!

But this year, something amazing was about to happen, and a group of friends was ready for a new adventure...

It was before Christmas.  Snow was falling and people were getting ready for Christmas. The boy Mark had a brilliant idea.

He said,``Let`s join Owlember with Christmas and make it extra magical!``

So the children made Christmas trees full of owls` ornaments. They painted owls wearing Santa`s hat and made cards  that said:

``Merry Christmas and Happy Owlember!

That night, something amazing happened. Santa Claus heard about the new tradition. When he flew over the town in his sleigh, he saw the owl lights, the owl baubles and the owl cookies. He smiles and said:

``What a wonderful idea!``

Santa left special gifts: tiny toy owls, books about owls and sweets with owls at the top. Children everywhere woke up to find them on Christmas morning.

From that day, the world celebrated the Magic of Owlember at Christmas time. It became a time to love owls, share joy and remember the boy.

Every Christmas night, if you look up at the snowy sky, you might see a snowy owl flying with Santa`s sleigh, hooting softly to wish you peace and wonder.

It was the last week of February. Mark and his friends went to a costumes shop to buy an owl costume since it was Carnival.

Mark and his friends went to a parade. At the parade, Mark met a girl named Adelaida. Mark organized a party and he invited her to his party. 

The party theme was owls. At the party there were fireworks, lights, masks, balloons and a band (all of them look like owls).

At the party, there were friends of Adelaida and Mark. The friends of Mark wore costumes of owls and the friends of Adelaida wore costumes of elfs. 

Adelaida and Mark danced bachata and salsa together with her friends. Before  the party Mark bought eleven owls to let the children touch them.

From that day, every year at the end of February, the world celebrates Carnival together with Christmas and Owlember.

In September, Mark and Adeleida came to Taiwan.

The two owls have the mooncakes and barbecue done first. They thanked Chang'e and returned to their warm home on Earth.

Mark and Adelaida borrowed a mirror from Chang'e to call the owls.

The owls went back to the moon to save Mark and Adelaida. They thanked the owls, farewelled with Chang'e and the dragon. They finally returned to the Earth with owls.

After Mark and Adelaida returned to the Earth, they saw a mysterious shop in Tainan, Taiwan.

They were so delighted because they believed the Owlember had finally reached Taiwan!

They walked into the shop, they surprisingly found T-shirts, pants and hats with patterns of the Mid-Autumn Festival and owls.
