“Guess what I saw last night,”
trills Enrico the Screech Owl,
(who does not screech, but trills softly),
looking out of his hole in the big oak tree
after listening for tiny mouse sounds all night.

“I know what you saw,”
barks Ferris the Red Fox,
looking out his den under the same big oak tree,
after sniffing for tin rabbit scents all night.

“So do I! So do !” screams Blue Scream the Blue
Jay who has risen after sleeping all night.

“And I can see it! I can see it” Blue Scream
screams.

He points the tip of his left wing toward the hugely
bright star half way up the sky.
