Why did the bat praise the owl? (Read the text and answer the question)

The two friends set out on a journey and by flying over the rivers and hills they came to a jungle.

As they flew over the rivers and hills; they were very tired and became very hungry.

The bat thought if he could please the owl, he would give him more food. And, with this end in view the bat praised the owl

No, I don't think so. Because the owl was selfish and was not happy to share his food. Besides, he unwillingly let the two birds to come in his nest.

The weather of the day was not good. There rose a storm and it rained heavily.

The two friends decided to set out on a journey.
