 PLOT OF THE STORY

Once upon a time, in a quiet suburban neighborhood, a stray dog wandered the streets in search of food and a
place to call home. One night, while running from the shelter agent with his pack of friends. The dog ended up
running in to the forest. The dog came across an owl perched on a tree branch. The owl has recently immigrated
to the area from a faraway forest.

The dog was curious about the owl and approached her, wagging his tail in greeting. The dog, however, was wary
of the dog and hooted loudly in alarm, spreading her wings to make herself appear larger. Max, confused by the
owl's defensive behavior, backed away and sat down at a safe distance.

She looked at the dog with her big, round eyes and said, "I am not interested in making friends with you or any
other animal. I am a migratory owl, and I do not have time for idle chatter or games."

The dog stayed the night in the forest, but sadly he couldn't find his way home. There was no creature in the forest
besides the dog and the owl. The dog was missing his pack of friends from the streets, he was alone, and he
couldn't do anything by himself. The dog would watch the owl as she flew silently through the night, and the owl
would watch the dog as he chased after cars and barked at passing pedestrians to get home.

One night, as the dog was wandering the forest, and he encountered a group of haunting dogs that were
aggressive and territorial. They attacked the dog, biting and snarling at him. The dog was scared and alone, unable
to defend himself against the other dogs. Suddenly, the owl appeared, swooping down from a nearby tree and
screeching loudly at the attacking dogs. Her sudden appearance startled the other dogs, and they fled. The dog,
relieved and grateful, looked up at the owl with newfound respect. After that day, the owl taught the dog how to
haunt by himself, and how to survive in the forest by himself. The dog taught the owl how to use the sense of
smell to haunt preys. The owl began to feel different.
Over time, the dog and the owl became friends in their own unique way. Rocky would often visit the owl and sit at
the base of the tree, quietly observing her as she slept during the day. The owl, in turn, would watch Rocky from a
distance and sometimes even hoot softly in his direction.

From that day forward, both became unlikely friends, spending their nights together watching over the quiet
night. Although they were very different in their behavior and habits, they found a way to connect and care for
each other, proving that friendship can be found in even the most unlikely of places.
