The Tale of Solomon Owl

Solomon Owl was a bit prickly, but still endured experiences that cause a young mind to remember. Upon his arrival, as a stranger, in Pleasant Valley, Solomon Owl looked about carefully for a place to live. What he wanted, especially was a good, dark hole, for he thought that the sunshine was very dismal. Though he was willing to bestir himself enough to suit anybody, when it came to hunting, Solomon Owl did not like to work. He was no busy nest-builder, like Rusty Wren.
