When they got home Billy told his dad he was going to have a owl as a pet his dad said “not another pet “!but then Billy’s dad thought again because he thought the owls would eat all the rats and gophers and rabbits and white mice and all the other pets so he said o.k. The next day they brought Mr. Miller back with them by the end of the day the owl flew away with Mr. Miller ‘s hat and they also new that there three baby owls about the age to take home as pets.
