So she hadn't misheard; animals did live in trees. The fact seemed so absurd to the child, unable to imagine the feeling of climbing trees with her claws, let alone flying! In a way, flying seemed cool. She could soar above the trees and explore new heights beyond her reach. In awe, she stared at her flank, expecting to find wings sprouting through her fur though unfortunately found nothing. If she wished hard enough, maybe she could make her wings grow! Yeah, she could do that!
Her mother then explained that these tree-creatures were spread out, which was a disappointment to the child. That meant she had to look twice as hard, and to be honest she wasn't that observant. However, it wasn't long before the woman spotted an owl and its nest to prove it. Instantly, the girl looked up, staring at the hole in the tree. Forget living on a tree, this owl lived in the tree. "How does it do that?" she asked in amazement, still gaping up at the nest, wondering how this creature could create such a hole in a tree.
