Jeremiah the Owl

Little Erian is a very lonely little girl. She has no brothers or sisters, and her mom and dad work many long hours, leaving very little time to do things with their daughter. Although Erians friend, Alexsandra, lives close by, she is often busy doing things with her parents and isnt able to spend as much time playing with Erian as she would like. One day while they are engaged in brief game of Hide-and-Go-Seek, Erian is quite surprised to find an owl lying on the forest floor. She and Alexsandra quickly determine the owls wing is broken and take it to recuperate in Erians closet; however, they do not know what owls eat. Imagine their surprise when, after attempting to feed him vegetables, the owl speaks up and asks for mice! However, Erian quickly overcomes her shock at finding out that animals can talk and soon makes a dear friend in Jeremiah, lonely no more!
