When I was walking, I saw an owl with deer antlers! I’m so excited right now! A voice said – “I’m Dowl, I’m right here”, and I saw him. “I’m very special”, said the Dowl. “My name is Marc. I’m an owl with deer antlers. Do you want to walk around”? I said “Yes”! I saw more and more Dowls. At the end of the walking, I saw a big blue thing – we went through it. Everything was blue. We were going to enter a big ocean – it is very bright green with a star in the middle. We went to the middle of the star and drowned it. It is like a laboratory down there. We are going to do something on a computer – we are going to search. About the Dowl, he is a little bit like a bat – it can fly. They eat bugs and it can change colors. It lives in the forest. Their predators are tigers. I better keep the Dowls safe. I know where I can keep them – in my attic, that is a safe place. “Let’s get out of here”, Marc tells the other Dowls to come with me. We are in my neighborhood. “Let me and Marc get stuff done, and you and the other Dowls can come in my attic”. I will treat the Dowls like my kids. It is lunch time. “What are we having today”, I asked. “Bread crumbs and water”, said Marc. I love you Marc! |
