Thomas' 971st Story -- Illustrated

1.     Once upon a time, there was a grumpy owl.  The owl had claws and wings for flying.  The owl was out of its tree.  And there was Thomas named Thomas.  The owl was outside Thomas’ window.  The owl tried to break the glass.  Thomas was scared.  He wanted the owl to go back in its tree.  Thomas shook the silver rattle to scare the owl, but the owl wasn’t scared.  The rattle had lost its music magic.

The End.
