There was an old owl lived in an oak.Everyday he saw incidents happening around him.Yesterday he saw a boy helping anold man to carry a heavy basket.Today he saw a girl shouting at her mother. The more he saw the less he spoke. As he spoke less, he heard more.He heard people talking and telling stories.He heard a women saying that an elephant jumped over the fence.He also heard the man saying that he had never made a mistake. The old owl had been seen and heard about what happend to people.Some became better and some became worse. But the old owl had become wiser each and every day ©Shashikala Swamy The wise old owl
