PENILAIAN TENGAH SEMESTER (PTS) II ENGLISH 9

Once upon a time an owl and a pigeon met and talked.

“There are more owls than pigeons,” said Owl.

“No, way,” said Pigeon, “There are many more pigeons.”

“Let’s count!” answered Owl, “We will meet in the big wood a week from today.”

On that day. the owls came first. The trees were full of them. The owls laughed and said,” ooowah-wah-wah!”

Soon they heard a loud roar from the sky. Pigeons were coming from everywhere! The owls could not believe there could be so many pigeons. They sat there moving their heads back and forth staring with wide eyes.

The owl stared so long and hard at the pigeons that their eyes just stayed that way. Then, one by one the one the owls took off, fled into the sky.

In the meantime, the pigeons were shouting to each other, celebrating their victory. Since then, owls have always travelled at night when the pigeons are asleep.
