Saving the Owl
It was bedtime and Ben peered out of the window at the tall tree. Every night he listened and waited for his friend. “Where could it be?” Suddenly, a pair of amber eyes glowed brightly in the dark. There was his wise owl friend disguised in front of the bark. “Hoot hoot hoot” called the owl from the towering tree. “Hoot hoot hoot” sang Ben “We’re as lucky as can be.”
Listen carefully
Ben shouted to his Mum, “Come and see this wonderful sight!” However, his friend had disappeared. Maybe he had taken flight? As it got darker, Ben and his Dad went for a stroll outside.
Ben pointed to the tree again. Had the owl decided to hide? “Hoot hoot hoot” called Ben to the towering tree. All was silent, there was no hoot. “Where could my feathery friend be?”
Teach
Listen carefully
The very next day, a sign appeared. “What does tree felling mean?” Dad explained the tree would be chopped down. Ben then made a scene. “But it’s the owl’s home. Where will my owl friend go? It could be in danger, it could get harmed. It’s precious, don’t you know?” “Hoot hoot hoot” called Ben to the towering tree. All was silent, there was no hoot. “Where could my feathery friend be?”
Teach
Listen carefully
The next morning Ben spotted the lumberjack, “Please do not chop!” The crowd that had gathered agreed with him “Please stop, stop, stop!” A quick look revealed not one, not two, but three hooting owlets. “What a surprise!” The tree was now a home to a family of fluffy faces. “I cannot believe my eyes.” “Hoot hoot hoot” called the owls from the towering tree. “Hoot hoot hoot” sang Ben “We’re as lucky as can be.”
