1 00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:05,219 Owl Babies by Martin Waddle and Patrick Benson 2 00:00:05,219 --> 00:00:13,160 Once there were three baby owls, Sarah and Percy and Bill. 3 00:00:13,699 --> 00:00:17,820 They lived in a hole in the trunk of a tree with their owl mother. 4 00:00:18,539 --> 00:00:22,300 The hole had twigs and leaves and owl feathers in it. 5 00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:24,079 It was their house. 6 00:00:27,809 --> 00:00:31,649 One night they woke up and their owl mother was gone. 7 00:00:32,390 --> 00:00:34,990 Where's mummy? asked Sarah. 8 00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:49,250 Oh my goodness, said Percy. I want my mummy, said Bill. The baby owls thought. All owls think a lot. 9 00:00:50,130 --> 00:00:59,969 I think she's gone hunting, said Sarah. To get us our food, said Percy. I want my mummy, said Bill. 10 00:00:59,969 --> 00:01:10,930 but their owl mother didn't come. The baby owls came out of their house and they sat on the tree 11 00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:24,799 and waited. A big branch for Sarah, a small branch for Percy and an old bit of ivy for Bill. 12 00:01:25,579 --> 00:01:39,040 She'll be back, said Sarah. Back soon, said Percy. I want my mummy, said Bill. It was dark in the wood 13 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:46,579 and they had to be brave for things moved all around them. She'll bring us mice and things 14 00:01:46,579 --> 00:01:59,959 that are nice, said Sarah. I suppose so, said Percy. I want my mummy, said Bill. They sat and 15 00:01:59,959 --> 00:02:08,979 they thought. All owls think a lot. I think we should all sit on my branch, said Sarah and they 16 00:02:08,979 --> 00:02:27,349 did, all three together. Suppose she got lost, said Sarah. Or a fox got her, said Percy, said Bill. 17 00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:38,870 And the baby owls closed their owl eyes and wished their owl mother would come. And she came. 18 00:02:38,870 --> 00:02:49,800 Soft and silent, she swooped through the trees to Sarah and Percy and Bill 19 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,180 Mummy! they cried 20 00:02:54,180 --> 00:03:00,280 And they flapped and they danced and they bounced up and down on their branch 21 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:08,060 What's all the fuss? their owl mother asked 22 00:03:08,060 --> 00:03:10,159 You knew I'd come back 23 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:14,439 The baby owls thought, all owls think a lot 24 00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:27,629 I knew it said Sarah and I knew it said Percy I love my mummy said Phil the end
