In the great, old hollow oak,Lived an owl, who never spoke.

Fox asked, ‘Why do you never speak?’But Owl refused to move his beak.

Badger huffed, ‘How very rude!’But Owl would not, could not, be moved!

A swooping bat whooped, ‘Say hello!’
![Page 11: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But Owl was silent far below.
![Page 12: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

A pair of mice squeaked in his ear,‘Is it that you cannot hear?’
But Owl just rolled his giant eyes,And stared up at the starry skies.
![Page 14: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Squirrel scalded, ‘Are you nuts?’But Owl ignored his toothy tuts.
![Page 16: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Rat cried, ‘Owl! This isn’t right!’But Owl just gazed into the night.
![Page 18: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Stag said, ‘Owl! We need a sign,To let us know that you are fine.’
![Page 19: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

So all the creatures gathered round,To see if Owl would make a sound.
![Page 21: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
They stared at Owl; he stared right back. Who would be the first to crack?
![Page 22: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stag declared, ‘He must be mute,Or he doesn’t give a hoot!’
![Page 23: The Silent Owl](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042508/55cf98de550346d0339a254c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

At this, the owl produced a trumpet,A big bass drum and stick to thump it.

Although Owl wouldn’t hoot, he played the bongos,
piano,

guitar,
and flute!

The animals cheered, ‘What a clever bird!’And Owl just winked without a word.
