The Vowel Owl

The vowel owl in Jack's beanstalk howled in vowels. "A - E - I - O" - from morning until night he loudly twit - twoo to the crow - then he added a "U" to the robin in the hedgerow. Farmer Giles put down his trowel, just to come and hear the owl. As the beanstalk grew and grew, the vowel owl sat on a branch and let out an "Oooo".
