Hoot

Hoot Roy Eberhardt was new to Coconut Cove, Florida. There was also something that was going to be new and that was Mother Paula's Pancake House. He was excited, but his friends, Beatrice and Mullet Fingers, weren't. They told Roy that the soon to be Mother Paula's, had burrowing owls living n the ground, if they constructed hen they could all die. So, Roy wanted to do something about it, so he took his mother's camera and had a plan. Roy and his friends were going to take a picture of an owl for proof. So, the next day at the ceremony for the pancake house, they would show everyone there that the owls lived there. But, the picture had no success, but then, Beatrice spotted an owl and they were saved. In the following weeks, the mayor gave a generous $50,000 donation for a conservation center for the owls!
