    "Who, who!"  The voice resounded.
    "That's what I said...Who is up there?" Wiggles repeated.
    "Who."  The voice said once again.
    "We are getting nowhere with this mimicry," Wiggles stated.  "Show

    "Who?"  The voice in the trees answered.
    "I'm gonna come up there and kick some butt," Rosie declared.
    "That would not be very wise," Came the voice once again, and the owner
revealed himself by hopping down to a lower branch that was clearly visible

    "Mr. Owl!" Foxie exclaimed.
    "Who."  The owl stated.
    "Oh, brother," Maxie sighed.  "Are you gonna tell us why we should stay
out of that evil marsh place or what?"
    "Yeah," Sammi echoed.
    "Well, now," Owl said, "Gather around, friends, and I shall tell you the

    "Woah," Rosie exclaimed, hopping around excitedly.  "Tell us!"
