THE OWL.
Reading edition
An owl sat in a hollow tree, And cried the whole day through: "I can not see; the sun blinds me. Ah, what am I to do?" When night was dark, the owl looked out, And thought he'd leave his house: For "light," said he, "has come to me— I'll go and catch a mouse." The mouse he caught, and then he cried: "What next am I to do? The woods shall ring, I'll sit and sing, Too-whit, too-whit, too-whoo!"
