Text and Images from The Lost Egg

Owl had just awakened from his noon day nap, when he
heard a strange sound. It was a THUMP!

“Whooooo was that?” he wondered. He looked around from
his perch in the trees. No one was in sight! “Whooooo, “ he asked.

And then he looked with his sharp owl eyes and saw on the
floor of his forest a large white egg! “Whoooo,” he asked
again, but no one answered, so Owl flew down to take a closer look.

It was indeed an egg, but where had it come from?
