Once upon a time Owl and Pigeon met and talked.

"There are more owls than pigeons," said Owl.

"No way,” said Pigeon, "There are many more pigeons."

"Let's count!" answered Owl, "We will meet in the big woods a week from today."

On that day, the owls came first. The trees were full of them. The owls laughed and said, "Oowah-wah-wah!"

Soon they heard a loud roar from sky. Pigeons were coming from everywhere! The owls could not believe there could be so many pigeons. They sat there moving their heads back and forth staring with wide eyes.
