Boni and the Barn Owl
Join Boni, a brave and talkative 6-year-old girl on a chicken farm in South Africa, as she finds a baby barn owl and faces the challenge of raising it. With courage and love, Boni learns to care for the owl, overcoming problems and obstacles along the way, until she must make the toughest decision of all: letting go.
On a sunny morning, Boni found a tiny baby barn owl under a tree. It looked lost and scared.
- What should I do? Boni wondered aloud. She wanted to help the owl but wasn't sure how.
Boni's mom showed her how to feed the owl with care. But the owl was too small to eat much.
Boni realized she needed to keep the owl safe and warm. But the chicken coop was too noisy.
Boni decided to build a cozy nest for the owl in her room. But where would she get the materials?
Boni's friend Janet told her, - You can't keep an owl forever. It's a wild creature!
- But I want to help it grow strong! Boni replied, determined to do her best.
As days passed, the owl grew bigger and stronger. But it started trying to fly out the window.
One night, a storm came, and the owl seemed frightened. Boni held it close to calm it down.
- I can't keep you forever, can I? Boni whispered. She knew the owl needed to fly free.
Feeling sad, Boni considered giving up taking care of the owl. But she loved it too much.
Boni talked to her mom about the owl's future. - It's time to let it go, her mom said gently.
Boni realized she needed to be brave. Letting go was the right thing to do.
The next morning, Boni opened the window wide, and the owl spread its wings.
- Goodbye, little friend, Boni said, watching the owl soar. Her heart felt light.
Though she missed the owl, Boni felt proud of what she'd done. She had learned about love and letting go.
