Emi Is An Owl
One day, Emi woke up in her nest as usual, and hopped up to get some breakfast. She decided to switch on the radio to listen to the news to find out what was happening in the world. Two presenters were chatting to each other. One was saying".... at the national conference yesterday I thought President Owl's feathers looking very untidy, she didn't look great at all..." HOOT!
Emi didn't hear any more,because her Mum had flown in a switched off the radio!"why does it matter what the president looked like? Emi's mum grumbled. " Isn't it more important to talk about what people say and di, not what they look like?"
Emi was about to answer, but then she realised didn't have time to talk because she was late for school! She hugged her mum goodbye, grabbed her bag and flew outside.
As she glided along, Emi looked down at the town below, the trees and the river in the distance. She was enjoying the view so much, she almost crashed into a huge advertisement sign!"eeeek!!" she screeched as she recovered her balance.
"What's this? she looked up at the new sign. There what's the giant picture of an owl posing for a photo on a beach. The owl in the picture look so slim and bright and smooth feathered, she didn't look real.
Underneath the picture the sign read "Lose weight to look great in time for your holiday! Try our new diet today!" HOOT! Emi thought about the holidays she'd had, having fun with her family and exploring new places." Why shoot anyone have to change the way they look to be able to have fun? she asked herself.
She was almost at school, and ahe glided down to the playground to greet her friend. " Hello everyone! What's happening?" she asked. Everyone was gathered together, whispering. One of Emi's friends said "Look over there, it's Oli! We haven't seen him for a long time,and looks at him now! He looks like a model! Who would have thought he could have changed so much- he wasn't that interesting before but now he looks really cool..."
Emi was confused. Oli was a very nice kind owl that lots of people had ignored before, but now he had changed the way he looked, suddenly everyone wanted to know him. " Why should the way we look change the way our friends treat us? She asked herself.
The class was called in to their lessons then, so off they chatting as she passed them by. They both looking at OwlPhones, looking very worried. 'Oh no" exclaimed one. Looked at this photo, I can't they have posted it online, I look horrible! Look past , she caught a look at the picture. Everyone in the picture looked like they were all having a great time! She sighed "Why can't they see that they look happy and beautiful just as they are?"
Peached in the classroom, Emi imagined a world where every single owl felt confident and happy with the way they looked, and didn't feel they needed to change fie anyone. What wonderful world would be....
