Owl Babies Retold by Wyatt & Reicoe

Once there was a peaceful forest and in this one tree there lived three baby owls, Sarah, Percy, Bill and their mother. They snuggled together and fell asleep. An hour later the family noticed something different. Their mummy was gone! They were very worried. They peeped out of the tree, Bill groaned, “I want my mummy!”

Other animals were looking for food at night. They were scared but they needed to be brave. Sarah said, “She will come back with mice and things that are nice.” Percy said, “I suppose so.” Bill said, “I want my mummy!”  Sarah, Percy and Bill thought. All owls think a lot. Sarah said, “I think we should all go on my branch.” They waited and wished. Out of the bushes came… “Mummy!” they all cried together. But she was wounded. Her wing was broken! She couldn’t fly for a week but luckily she brought some food. Sarah, Percy and Bill were shocked. They flew down and picked her up. They struggled but they managed to get there. They started asking questions. There were bite marks on her wing. Bill said, “You should be more careful.” They all started laughing and lived happily ever after. Well, not really happily, but just happy.

Once upon a time there were three baby owls. Their names were Sarah, Percy and Bill. One day, in the middle of the night they woke up and the three baby owls said, “Our mummy is gone!” Then, the baby owls climbed out of the tree and thought. Sarah said, “Maybe she has been eaten by a fox!” Then the little one said, “Where’s my mummy?” (He kept on saying that until his mummy came.) Then they saw some leaves falling from the sky up above them. Then, something strange happened. There were some owls. There were ten owls and one of the owls was the baby owl’s mummy. One of the baby owls said, “Is that our family?” Then his mummy said, “Yes, that is our family.”

But, when it was years later, the three baby owls were not little anymore. They were big and strong and that was the day their grandparents finally left their home. Then they all lived happily ever after.
