Summary
Once upon a time, a dove and a bat were good friends who decided to embark on a journey. They flew over rivers and hills but soon became tired and sought shelter when a storm hit. They found an old rain tree with a grumpy owl who reluctantly let them in and shared some food despite being selfish. The dove was too tired to eat, while the bat, wanting more food, flattered the owl by praising his wisdom and strength. The owl, pleased with the flattery, sought the dove's opinion on him.
