The Owl and the Rabbit

Once upon a time there lived a baby owl who was friends with a baby rabbit. They did not know that they wore supposed tobe enemies until one day when they were full grown. One of the rabbit's friends, a Chickadee, who lived nearby told him this and the rabbit became afraid of what might happen to him. So he left without saying a word to his friend the owl. The owl, wondering where his friend had gone, asked the little chickadee and when the chickadee told the owl, the owl was sad that he stayed home for a few days hoping his friend would come back to visit him.


But after waiting for a long time his friend did not come to his home. So the owl decided to go searching for him. After searching for a long time he finally found his friend and asked him why he had gone without telling him. The rabbit told him what the chickadee had said to him. But the owl replied that he would never hurt him. And so it was that the two of them wont back home together and were fast friends forever.
