Goldi-chan thought to herself, Great I can ask him to help me find my way home. She was just about to knock when she noticed a note tacked just beneath the sign written with perfect penmanship. The note read, “Have gone hunting, will be back by tea time tomorrow. ~ Archimedes Owl ~”
It seemed that Goldi-chan had missed her opportunity to meet the Wise Owl. But being exhausted from her ordeals and wanting to calm down a bit and gather her thoughts, she gently pushed on the handle of the door and soon found herself inside the home.
The house was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated and well-managed. The front room was furnished with a couch, a couple of high-backed chairs and a sitting table, made from a sliver of oak, in the center. A painted vase full of freshly cut flowers rested atop a linen napkin that sat firmly in the middle of the impressive hunk of wood, but the focal point of the room had to be the hearth. It had a fireplace of intricately laid stones encased in columns of smooth and polished wood shelves with rows upon rows of leather-bound books. It was a cozy little nest, to be sure.
Goldi-chan moved toward what appeared to be the dining area in the far end of the room. It was complete with a perfectly round dinner table and four chairs. In the corner, next to the entry way to the kitchen, stood an ornately carved hutch filled with painted cups, bowls and plates. Goldi-chan could tell by the surroundings that the Wise Owl must have a family and that they were probably (hopefully) all together.
