Three Little Owls
Once upon a time, there were three close friends and one had a story in her head. She clung to feathers like they were rosaries and while one friend made a deal with the stars, the other got lost in them, climbing so high that her head extended, balloon-like, into the atmosphere and she floated away from them. The girl who was a bird got stuck up there, but the girl who liked birds fell backwith the one who could bargain with light and they held on to oxygen together. This was the whole of their story, and a moving earth burried them in the night until one by one they lost their teeth and fell apart.
