    O nce there were three baby owls:

    Sarah and Percy and Bill .

    They lived in a hole

    in the trunk of a tree

    with their Owl Mother .

    The hole had twigs and

    leaves and owl feathers in it .

    It was their house .

    One night they woke up and

    their Owl Mother was GONE.

    “Where’s Mommy?” asked Sarah.

    “Oh my goodness!” said Percy.

    “I want my mommy!” said Bill.

    The baby owls

    (all owls think a lot) —

    “I think she’s gone hunting,” said Sarah.

    “To get us our food!” said Percy.

    “I want my mommy!” said Bill.

    But their Owl Mother didn’t come.

    The baby owls came out of

    their house, and they sat

    on the tree and waited.

    A big branch for Sarah,

    a small branch for Percy,

    and an old piece of ivy for Bill.

    “She’ll be back,” said Sarah.

    “Back !” said Percy.

    “I want my mommy!” said Bill.

    It was dark in the woods and

    they had to be brave, for things

    all around them.

    “She’ll bring us mice and

    things that are nice,” said Sarah.

    “I suppose so!” said Percy.

    “I want my mommy!” said Bill.

    They sat and they thought

    (all owls think a lot) —

    “I think we should

    sit on branch,” said Sarah.

    And they did,

    all three together.

    “Suppose she got lost,” said Sarah.

    “Or a fox got her!” said Percy.

    “I want my mommy!” said Bill.

    And the baby owls closed

    their owl eyes and wished their

    Owl Mother would come.

    AND SHE CAME.

    Soft and silent, she swooped

    through the trees

    to Sarah and Percy

    and Bill.

    “Mommy!” they cried,

    and they flapped and they danced,

    and they bounced up and down

    on their branch.

    “WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS?”

    their Owl Mother asked.

    “You knew I’d come back.”

    The baby owls thought

    (all owls think a lot) —

    “I knew it,” said Sarah.

    “And I knew it!” said Percy.

    “I love my mommy!” said Bill.
