Listen to the Narration:
An eagle made her nest in Owl’s favorite tree, and he became close friends with the two fledglings who hatched there. One day, though, the young eagles flew away to start new lives of their own.
Raccoon knew that Owl had been very fond of the fledglings, and went to visit him.
“I’m sorry your friends flew away,” Raccoon said. “Are you terribly sad that they’re gone?”
“Yes, I am sad,” Owl answered. “But I’m also happy that we got to know each other. Besides, there are always more friends to be made in the world.”
