High up in the canopy of the Wishing Tree Forest, where leaves shimmer like lanterns and the breeze speaks in lullabies, lives a gentle sloth named Tallo. He wasn’t born fast, nor flashy, nor loud—and he never minded one bit. For Tallo, life has always been about waiting for the right moment and savouring the quiet in between.

As a young cub, Tallo often fell behind the other forest creatures. While they zipped from tree to tree or flitted through adventures, Tallo would sit… and watch. He’d wait until the sunrise turned just golden enough to sip his tea. He’d wait for caterpillars to finish crossing the path before 

continuing his walk.

 He even once waited three hours just to hear a flower bloom—and said it was the best part of his week.

While others rushed, Tallo noticed. He listened to silence. He understood time not as something to beat, but as something to befriend.

One fateful spring, when a strong storm knocked down the Great Acorn Bridge, panic spread across the forest. Creatures tried to rebuild it quickly, tossing logs and scrambling about. But the bridge kept collapsing. 

Tallo, slow and steady, simply sat with the pieces. For three days he studied the way the water flowed and the wind bent the branches. Then, in his own time, he calmly placed each beam where it wanted to be—not where it was forced. The bridge held. And from that day forward, the forest began to look to Tallo when wisdom and waiting were needed.

Now, Tallo is known as the Keeper of Patience in Tiny Tales Land. Children come to him with tangled thoughts and twitchy paws, and Tallo welcomes them with warm tea, a soft smile, and the gentlest words:

"Let’s just breathe, and see what time reveals."

When he’s not meditating on a giant lily leaf, you might find him teaching the art of slow tea, watching clouds shape stories, or waiting with a snail to cross the library path—because everyone deserves a little space to move at their own pace.

Tallo’s presence is like a lullaby made of leaves: quiet, comforting, and always in harmony with the moment.

He reminds us that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do… is wait.
