Hoot was a very small owl and Holler a much bigger one. Every night they played together in the Great Wood. They loved each other very much, but Hoot was too little to say so and Holler was just too shy. One night a great storm blows them to opposite ends of the wood. Hoot cannot find Holler and Holler cannot find Hoot. Wise Owl's advice gives them the courage to find each other and makes them realise how important it is to tell a friend just what you are feeling.
