Once upon a time, there was an owl(猫头鹰) in the middle of a dark forest. All the animals knew that he was the wisest among       of them. So they often went to him and told him their problems. Then the owl always told them     to solve their problems.
One day, a little bird came to the owl. She was      .
“What’s wrong with you?” asked the owl.
“I’m not happy at all, Mr. Owl . I don’t want to be a bird any more. ”the bird     .
“ Why don’t you want to be a(n)     ?” asked the owl.
“Because I am so small and weak, ”she cried. “I want to be as big and strong as the lion. He is important, but I am not. ”
Then the owl said        in her ear. Then the bird dried her tears and      away. One week later, the bird came back. “Thank you very much, Mr. Owl. You are so     ,”she said to the owl. “I’m very happy now. Every day, I watch out for （监视）lions and tigers.       they come near, I shout as loudly as I can. Then they all run and hide. They often       me for that. I am useful and important now. ”
The wise owl smiled and said: “Dear, no one in the world is useless.”
