Owl Howl
By Paul Friester
Who is that in the forest, howling and howling? A wolf? No. It's a little owl. Everyone in the neighborhood -- from hedgehog to crow to squirrel to mole to stag beetle -- tries to comfort the little owl. They rock her in a large cobweb. They give her a nut. But even the mole's necklace of flowers does not calm her down. What on earth could be the matter?
