Story About An OwlAuthor: Judy GalmurI l lu s t ra to r : Ross Tukumba

P .3 Once there was an owl who live d insaid a hollow tree w ith her baby.

P .4 One day a man and his son went hunting in the bush.The l i t t l e boy's daddy looked up in to a tree and sawthe mother owl looking at him.

P.5 He said, "Be qu ie t son, he might be looking at us fo r a reason." But when he moved closer, the owl flew away, leaving her baby by i t s e l f in the hollow tre e .

P.6 When the l i t t l e boy saw the baby owl he to ld his fa ther to get him. "Daddy, daddy," he said, "get tha t l i t t l e owl fo r me. I want to take i t home and rear i t . " But h is fa ther said, "No son, we must leave him, because the mother owl might come back andsing fo r a b ig ra in ," he to ld his son.

P.7 The l i t t l e boy d id n 't lis te n to his fa ther. Hekept crying u n t i l his fa ther climbed up the tree andput h is hand in and got the baby ow l.

P .9 The l i t t l e boy and his fa ther then took the baby owl back to camp. Later, maybe, the owl went back to the tree and saw tha t i t was empty. That same n igh t, she sung to the sky and a l l the clouds started to gather. Then the wind and ra in began to f a l l onto the ground. The mother owl was re a lly mad about her baby, and thehouse belonging to the man, h is w ife and the l i t t l e boy,was re a lly blown around.

P .10 Later, the l i t t l e boy f e l t sorry for the owl and they took the baby back to the tre e . The mother owl maybe came back from hunting la te r and looked inside th e ir home. She was re a lly happy to see her l i t t l e baby again and d id n 't leave a fte r th a t, but stayed and looked a fte r him, poor th ing .
