Timmy and the Great White Owl
The mouse asked Why is the sky blue?
Once upon a time in the forest. There was a family of mice that lived inside an oak tree. Timmy was curious about the sky. So one night he pretended to go to sleep. After he was tucked in his bed. And all the lights were off. He snuck out of the house and went to explore.
Little did he know he was being watched as he was walking in the field. A white owl was hunting for food and spotted him. So when the mouse stopped at a river to drink some water. The owl flew down and picked him up with his claws."Timmy said let me go!" As the owl takes him to his house in a nest. The owl lets go of him and make him sit in his house. Meanwhile, the owl went to his kitchen. And boiled a big pot of water and made stew.
Timmy asked the owl Why is the sky blue? Hoo! said the owl. That's an innocent question. I say it is blue because the water on the earth catches the light in the sky and makes it blue. Wow! Can you let me fly on your back and see the sky? The owl thought this mouse is so innocent. I can't eat him. He thought. He is much too young to be eaten. So the owl let him hop on his back. They went outside and the owl took off and began to fly. Timmy was laughing and observing everything around him.
Timmy asked the owl. "What is that shiny silvery thing in the sky. The owl said, "that's the moon." Then what are the twinkling lights in the sky? "Those are stars." Replied the owl. And he hooted with laughter. "Then Timmy asked Why is it so bright in the day, and dark at night?" Because the sun gives vitamins during different times of the day. And at night is for people to go to sleep.
Then the owl landed on a tree branch. So he could rest for awhile. Then he told Timmy to wait here. "He said he will take him home it is too dangerous for a young mouse to be out at night. If a hawk saw him he would have killed him." Timmy said okay. "Thank you."
They rested for five minutes. Then the owl said, "I will take you home now."Okay! Said Timmy.
They flew back across the field, and the owl landed on his front porch. Timmy said, "GoodBye." Then Timmy snuck inside his house. And went to bed. It was a night to remember. And Timmy will never forget.

My Mother And George Michael
On Christmas Day 2016, news broke that George Michael had died. It was late in the evening, and my mother and I were sat in front of the TV. Our friends and family had gone home, we had eaten way too much food and we were tired. My mother was asleep, in fact. I wasn’t. I was scrolling, looking for anything to watch. It was Christmas Day, surely something good would be on. But what I got were reruns, repeats, Christmas specials from the year before that I had already seen… I sort of gave up and logged onto Facebook just to pass the time. That’s when I saw it. George Michael had died. I immediately jumped out of the sofa. That couldn’t be. Or maybe it could. It was 2016, after all. I put on Sky News because who can believe anything they see on Facebook these days? And there it was. The man I had grown up with had died. My mother didn’t know. Not for another minute, when I had to gather the courage to wake her up. I was crying and I knew she would immediately know something was wrong. I gently woke her up and pointed at the TV…
