Once upon a time, there was a humble bird named Peep who lived on a rickety old perch. One day, while trying to jostle for space, Peep's perch broke and he fell to the ground. A wise old owl saw what happened and asked, "What's wrong Peep?" Peep stammered in reply, "I-I-I don't have a place to live." The owl chuckled and said, "Balderdash! There's plenty of room in my tree." So Peep followed the owl to his tree, but was surprised to see how skimpy the branches were. But with a little mind over matter, Peep found the perfect perch and lived happily ever after.

Reflections

1. What happened to Peep's old perch?
2. Why did the owl offer Peep a new home?
3. How did Peep feel about his new home in the tree?
4. Why was Peep able to find a good perch in the tree?
