The stream has many voices
It sounds different where it slips past small stones and where it curls round the big ones.
Pebble Hollow.
A place where small things can become quite important.
The stream bends round a willow, past more pebbles than anybody has ever counted. Some are smooth, some are speckled, and one found its way into Ollie’s story as the “very important pebble”. Which one? This page is not telling.
There’s the little bridge.
A dry path leads towards the water. From here you can watch the stream slip between rounded stones, and see the willow leaning over the bank.
Can you see the little stack of stones beside the path?
Tap it in the picture.
Not one pebble is quite the same.
Some have a pale line, some wear a patch of moss, and some are half hidden beneath the water. A leaf has paused at the edge. What else can you spot?
Can you find these five little things?
- 🪨 Pale line
- 🍂 Golden leaf
- 🐚 Spiral shell
- 🪨 Stone stack
- 💧 Ripple

Did you notice?
A line can run through a stone
Some pebbles have pale veins. Others are spotted, striped or smooth all over.
Look again tomorrow
The stones stay, but the light, fallen leaves and little ripples never arrange themselves quite the same way twice.
Which one would you choose?
There is no correct answer, and nobody needs to take a stone home to imagine its story.
LANTERN TRAIL
There’s a lantern at Pebble Hollow!
A tiny light can be a treasure too.
