Oww flies in his dream. He has 2 big wings and he feels the wind on his face while flying. He sees a bird saying "come with me ! I'll show you a wonderful place! "Oww follows the bird and arrives an area. He looks around in order to ask where he is to the bird. But he doesn't see the bird. A little girl who is at the same age with Oww says: "Hi ! Do you know where you are?" Oww answers the question "No,I have no idea". Little girl smiles and says: "You're in Çorum.&nbsp;

What about this smell?" Oww asks. Paolo says: "It's the real Neapolitan pizza! Have you ever tasted it?" and Oww replies: "No, but I really would like to try it". Paolo takes him the best pizza in the world, a "Pizza Margherita". Oww finishes his pizza, thanks Paolo for the fantastic trip and says goodbye. Being tired, Oww lies down on the sand in front of the sea and falls asleep thinking about the next destination.

Finally Oww flies to Malazgirt Castle with the big bird. This castle is very big and surrounds the whole city.&nbsp;The bird ends his words as follows. - This castle is very important for Turkish history. It is also known as the Gates of Anatolia. After learning so much new information, Oww is very tired and sits somewhere in the shadow on the edge of the castle to get some rest and sleep.

He sees a flock of sheep and he likes them. From a distance, they look like a lot of cookies.&nbsp;He wants to go with them. he closes his eyes and starts running towards them on the verdant plain.&nbsp;

''You are at Hattusa. These lions you see are not real, they are statues. This place has a very deep and important history. Do you want me to tell you a little bit?“ Oww nods. Woman continues to tell, “long long times ago a civilization called" Hittites "used to live in this city. They are one of the most important civilizations in the world history.

He wonders what kind of books his father will bring. Books are his best friend. He reads all the books in detail, especially about cities. He dreams to go and see the cities he reads in the books.&nbsp; He asks many questions to his mother: - Where are these cities? How are they? Have you ever been there? His mother always gives the same answer: &nbsp;"I don't know."&nbsp; Actually nobody around him knows the answer, but he never gives up his dreams.

They go immediately to San Marco Square, the most important square in the city. “This is San Marco Bell Tower. It’s 98 meters high.” Paolo answers. Oww’s really delighted, he loves this square. After they change the car, and they take another fantastic car. Oww feels tired again, travelling is very tiring.

Suddenly he wakes up at a loud noise. He sees a crowd of people in the market square. Paolo suggests: “Why don't we take a moped? It's easier and faster to visit the city. " Oww agrees enthusiastically. Paolo takes him to the coast and says: “Oww, look over there! That's one of the most important volcanoes in Italy, Vesuvius ". Oww says:" It's huge! " and Paul: "Don't worry, it's not active". Oww sees a castle in the distance "What a beautiful castle!" Paolo says: "That is Dell’Ovo Castle, the most ancient castle in Naples".

He sees a long tower in front of him... And a lot of people talking to each other, taking photos and walking their dogs... Oww likes those people. He loves that place and wonder where he is.

There is nobody around, but he is still hearing the same thing. Oww&nbsp;starts to run around to find the voice. He sees a bird and asks: "Was it you shouting at me?" The bird says; "No!"&nbsp; Then Oww sees a butterfly and asks: "Was it you shouting at me?" The butterfly replies; "No!" Oww asks all animals he sees there, but all of them reply same.

The man answers:” My name is Paolo, I’m Italian. Nice to meet you!”.&nbsp;“Where are we?” Oww asks. “Well, Oww, we are in the beautiful Venice, the city on the water”, Paolo says.&nbsp;

But when he opens his eyes, he finds himself on a bridge. An old man watching the view from the bridge catches his attention. Oww asks the man where this is.The old man answers, this is the Murat Bridge. This bridge on&nbsp;Murat River was built by the Seljuks in the 13th century. Oww sees the fish swimming in the river over the bridge. Oww wants to take a closer look at the fish and his foot slips and he falls. But a big bird passing there, saves him. He tells Oww to be more careful. Oww who thinks the bird is right, asks where they're going. The bird says that he will take him to the historical places of Muş.

And this place's name is " Canyon of İncesu ". Oww surprises to the thing he saw. Oww thinks about that blue water and the sound of it. He runs toward to water and jumps in it. When he takes his head out of the water he understands that he is at a different place.&nbsp;

“Well I guess it’s your lucky day! I can show you one of the cities in Poland, which is called Gniezno.”&nbsp;The thought of another adventure makes Oww really delighted. He blinkes and when he opens his eyes he is standing in front of a very old cathedral. First he thinks that there's nothing special about this building, but then he notices a pair of bronze doors at the entrance to the cathedral . They were decorated with eighteen bas-relief scenes from the life of St. Adalbert, whose remains had been purchased for their weight in gold and brought back to, and enshrined in the cathedral.&nbsp;

Oww surprises a lot and wants to see the inside of tower. He steps into the clock tower and sees a bright white light. He takes his hands to the his face and waits for light to go. Suddenly Oww hears a dog's bark. He opens his eyes and sees a dog smiling to him. Oww also smiles and touches its head. Suddenly dog turns its back and starts to run. Oww follows the dog and stops when the dog stops. He looked his around and asks to himself: "How could I come here?" He remembers where he was at the last time and that light..

Oww gives up on thinking about it and sees the signboard above. He reads: "Aslanlı Kapı, Hattuşa." And he sees the lions... He screams and closes his eyes, as soon as he screams a woman laughs and says "don't be afraid! They are not real!". Oww opens his eyes and looks at the woman, "How? Then, what are they? And where am I? Wow! There are so many people here! "Woman puts her hand on his face and says:&nbsp;

While resting under the sea umbrella, Oww turns into a bird in his dream. He starts&nbsp;flying to the places of his dreams. He flies over the mountains, rivers, lakes and sea and finally he comes to a stunning seashore city called İzmir.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Firstly he comes to the Konak Clock Tower around which people feeds the pigeons with wheat. As he is so hungry, he eats from the wheat and after getting full, he goes on flying.&nbsp;

As he is trying to find it, he wakes up with his father's voice: "Oww! Here you are. I found you. Where have you been for hours?" Oww stands quickly and the book he fell asleep while reading falls down. Oww looks his around and says sadly: "Oh no! Are they all in my dream?" He is very upset. His father asks him: "Did you have a nightmare?" Oww replies:&nbsp; "No, I travelled beautiful places. I saw the wonderful cities of Turkey, Spain, Italy and Poland. It was so real that I was very happy there, but unfortunately it was a dream."

The weather is sunny and hot so he flies&nbsp;a sea-side town, Çeşme. There are lots of lovely beaches.The beaches are very crowded. People have great fun while swimming, doing scuba-diving and kite surfing. After spending time in these great beaches, he feels a bit hungry. ‘What can I eat’ he thinks. He sees some people eating ‘kumru’ a kind of local warm sandwich. He says: ‘It looks tasty, I want to try it.’

He smiles and says to Oww: "One day you will definitely see them. What about starting your journey by going to the town with me?" Oww cheers and hugs his father and shouts: "Journey with Oww" is starting now! They take the town's road together.

Final Common Product

Oww wakes up at the sound of bells. “All right, kid, we are in Florence, the most beautiful city of art”. “I love it!” Oww says. They go to the Uffizi, the most important museum in Florence. Oww’s thrilled at the sight. After they start a new journey to another city. They change again the car. As before, Oww feels tired, so he starts to sleep.

Oww says “I am so lucky to be here. Now I want to see every span of this city! “And he adds after looking at the statues again, “I think they are still alive! They live with us. The history never dies...” Later in the evening Oww feels really tired. He was a tree and laid down under that tree...

The coach stops in front of a big celebration area soon. A girl wearing a very interesting costume welcomes Oww and puts a crown decorated with orange blossoms on his head.&nbsp;It is spring and time to join Orange Blossom Festival in Adana. When somebody says Orange Blossom Festival, the costumes with oranges, concerts, shows and street celebrations come to one’s mind. While he smells the flowers, the horse talks again. -Come on Oww, we have lots of places to go..&nbsp; So, they leave for another adventure.

It’s been at least a few hours since Oww has been sitting in this spot, looking up at the stars and the scenery of woods as he is trying to remember all the different countries he sees not wanting to forget anything.&nbsp; “Hey!” a deep voice smoothly speaks and Oww drawing his attention to it, he notices a big white eagle standing in front of him. “You alright? You have been sitting here for about half and hour.”&nbsp; “I’m fine. I just wish I could see one more country.” he answeres, looking back into the woods, Eagle hears him sigh.&nbsp;

Oww sits under the shade of a tree. He rereads his latest book and he begins to dream. He thinks about Spain. It is a very distant country. He asks himself: What will the people be like there? There will also be children who like to read? Suddenly, a very beautiful butterfly sits on his book, and says: “Do you want to know Spain?&nbsp;Come with me.” A swirling gust of air envelops Oww. He seems to float. When the wind stops, Oww finds himself in the middle of a sunny plaza, with a bunch of unknown children around him. Where I am? Oww asks. You are in Spain, answers one of the children.

As soon as he closes his eyes, a coach appears in front of him.The coach is decorated with the glittering ornaments and amulets. Oww is surprised. How does this coach get here? Because there is no coachman on it. Suddenly the horse starts to talk. -Don’t worry, please! I am your friend. You will be my coachman. I’m ready to have an&nbsp;unforgettable journey with you. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oww doesn’t reject this offer because he is an adventure lover.So, he gets on it right away. His journey starts again. It is so fun.

He sees a ship in the sea and starts a race with it. While flying over the ship, he realizes the passengers’ throwing&nbsp; ‘gevrek’ to the seagulls. He also catches the gevrek, eats it and finds it too yummy. He mutters to itself; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-How warm-blooded and helpful İzmir’s people are.

When they arrive in front of a strange building, Paolo wakes Oww and says: ”Look at the Colosseum! It’s the most important Roman amphitheater! There are a lot of things to do and see here!! We are in Rome!!” Oww and Paolo go sightseeing…..the Trevi Fountain, Sant’Angelo Castle, Saint Peter’s Square and Cathedral.

“What a wonderful city!” Oww exclaims. Paolo adds: “I see…but now it’s time to go…another city is waiting for us! Paolo chooses another car, and they start a new journey.

Oww starts to sleep. He wakes up when he hears a very noisy car. He’s very surprised. The driver sees Oww under the tree alone, invites him to take a tour to Italy. So they start a fantastic trip!

Oww sees a group of children playing barefoot in the sand with a ball. He realizes than only by moving his arms he can control his flight and he go down to the beach -Can I play with you? -Of course you can.&nbsp; Players must prevent the ball from touching the sand. Oww plays until he is exhausted. Then he sees a sun umbrella and sits under it to get some rest.

He starts walking in fragrant tulips. What is that?&nbsp; A sound. What could this sound be? Of course goose! He sees a lot of geese. They are going in a row and a child is behind them. He is at the same age with Oww. Oww goes towards them immediately. - Where are you going with so many geese? Goose shepherd answers; -Geese need to eat and drink water, &nbsp;we go for their feeding. Would you like to come with us?&nbsp; Oww accepts this offer. While walking down the road,Oww is more&nbsp; surprised at what he sees. How many animals&nbsp; there are ! Horses, donkeys, sheep, goats&nbsp; and cows… How crowded!

He wakes up with a horse licking his face. The horse says finally you woke up, you must be very tired. A talking horse... This excites Oww. Let’s go. Oww rides on a horse. The horse runs so fast that Oww thinks he is flying. He closes his eyes in the wind that is formed while the horse is running and enjoys the ride.&nbsp;

He comes to Bostanlı by following the ship. The seashore are very crowded. All of the people seem to be very happy while chatting, eating ‘çiğdem’, playing dodgeball, walking their dogs and watching the sea. For a while he spends time among these people and gather energy to go to another place of his dreams.

Outside of the cathedral there is a big statue of Bolesław I the Brave, who was the first king of Poland in 1025. Oww furrows his eyebrows as he is looking at the monuments. "This city must have been really important in the past" he thought.

Oww looks at the children who are as surprised as he is. Most of them have black hair and black or brown eyes, but their skin is white or slightly tanned. Suddenly, a warm breeze approaches and Oww takes flight again.He can see the small towns with the white houses. The air is warm and people wear summer clothes, but he can see the remnants of the last snow in the distant mountains.The journey approaches him to the coast. Oww had never seen the sea before. It is incredibly big. The beaches are very beautiful with their golden sand.

Suddenly the horse stops. Oww opens his eyes with excitement and surprise. Oh my God! Oww can't believe his eyes. Everywhere is verdant. Endless plain!&nbsp;Immediately, he throws himself in the green grass. Harmony of colors…crimson tulips on green grass… Across the landscape, Oww is fascinated. He raises his head up. The sun shines beautifully, he tries to close the sun with his hand. The sunlight still reaches his face through his fingers.

His father looks at the books around and says surprisedly: " Have you read all these books?" and then looks at his hands. The name of the book is "Wonderful Cities of the World"

They arrive at the Arak church. The church is very old and is in Arak Village. Arak means wine in Persian.This place has very fertile soil for grapes. Oww, who receives this information from the bird, clings to the feathers of the bird again.

Secondly, they arrive at Muş Castle. Oww is impressed by the lanscape there.There are many trees there and people have a picnic there.
