In the middle of a dark forest, there lives an owl(猫头鹰). All the animals know that he is the wisest(聪明的) among all of them. So they often go to him and tell him their troubles. Then the owl always teaches them what they should do.

One day, a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. “what’s wrong with you?” asks the owl.

“I’m not happy at all. I don’t want to be a bird,” the bird says.

“Why don’t you want to be a bird?” asks the owl.
