CHAPTER 1 There are two kids named Billy and Bruce that live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and they were taking a hike in the prairie. They were looking for a great horned owls nest. Bruce saw a crows nest. He climbed up the tree, grabbed the crows nest and climbed down. When he was half way down he fell and all the crows eggs cracked in his mouth. Billy has pets. He has a dog named Mutt and Bruce has a dog named rex.

Mr. Miller came to the woods with them and brought a lot of stuff. When they got there the owl wasn’t there but the babies were. Mr. Miller climbed up the tree but fell and they never got the eggs. The day after that they went back there and the forest was ruined because there was a storm in the night and the babies were dead except one.

C HAPTER 3 One day after that they went back to the woods the forest was ruined because there was a storm in the night and the babies were cold and dead. They barely grew their wings but then they saw a bump under the sticks, There was only one more owl left and they were surprised there was one more living and it was cold and all dirty so Billy and Bruce fed it some meat. And when they fed it, they left the woods to see if the owl would follow them. The owl went home with them and named him Wol.

He couldn’t see wol in the summerhouse at first until he saw him in the shadow. Billy didn’t see one gopher and Billy thought wol ate all of them. But then all of the gophers were going crazy around the summer house. Then wol saw all of them bouncing side to side then wol saw a big gopher bounce on the wall and ran right in to wol then bit wol on the leg and then wol jumped right up to the sealing and hanged there.wol would not go back down.
