Lechucita Vizcachera

Lechucita Vizcachera lived in a cozy burrow near a small beach town. One day, she noticed people arriving with big machines. " - What are they doing?" she wondered. " - They're building a house," said her friend Owlina. Lechucita was worried. " - What if they take my home?" she thought.

Lechucita flew to warn the other owls. " - We must protect our homes," she hooted. But the other owls were busy with their own nests. " - I can't do this alone," sighed Lechucita. She felt tiny compared to the big machines. " - How will I keep my home safe?" she worried.

The noise grew louder as the workers built the house. Lechucita couldn't sleep. " - I can't stand this noise," she complained. She tried talking to the workers, but they didn't understand her hoots. " - Maybe they don't care about us," she thought sadly. " - What can I do now?" she pondered, feeling helpless.

Feeling hopeless, Lechucita considered leaving her burrow. " - Maybe I should find a new home," she whispered. But she loved her cozy burrow by the beach. " - I don't want to leave," she sighed. She felt tears in her eyes. " - Why can't things stay the same?" she wondered.

One day, a small girl approached the burrow. " - Hello, little owl," she said softly. Lechucita was surprised. " - You're not scared?" she asked. " - No, I want to be your friend," giggled the girl. Together, they watched the sunset and the girl promised, " - We'll take care of your home."

With her new friend, Lechucita felt braver. The girl's family built their house but left room for her burrow. " - Thank you," Lechucita hooted happily. Now, the town was her home, too. " - We can all live together," the girl smiled. Lechucita learned that sometimes new neighbors can be friends.
