The Owl Babies

Once upon a time, in a big old tree, there lived three little owl babies named Sarah, Percy, and Bill. They loved their cozy nest and their mommy owl who always kept them safe.

One night, when the moon was shining bright, mommy owl went out to find some food for her babies. Sarah, Percy, and Bill were left alone in the nest. They felt scared and worried.

Sarah, the oldest owl baby, said, 'I want mommy!' Percy, the middle owl baby, said, 'I want mommy too!' Bill, the youngest owl baby, said, 'I want mommy the most!' They all missed their mommy very much.

They are looking out of the nest, hoping to see their mommy.

Suddenly, they heard a fluttering sound. It was mommy owl returning to the nest! Sarah, Percy, and Bill were so happy to see her. Mommy owl hugged them tightly and said, 'I will always come back to you. You are my precious owl babies.'

From that night on, Sarah, Percy, and Bill knew that even when mommy owl was not with them, she would always come back. They felt safe and loved in their cozy nest, and they lived happily ever after.
