Whoo-ah!” The sound reached the ears of Farmer Green, who was just crossing a neighboring field, on his way home to dinner. “Well, well!” he exclaimed. “I wonder what’s happened to that old owl! Something must have tickled him—for I never heard an owl laugh in broad daylight before.”
"It's plain that they don't like you," his cousin remarked. "Nor you, either!" Solomon Owl boomed. And then all at once he burst forth with a peal of ghostly laughter. "Wha, wha, whoo-ah!" Now, Master Meadow Mouse had just crept out of one of his doorways and was looking up at the stars when that shivery sound came rolling out of the woods.
Nevertheless, Farmer Green does not figure that way, and in justice to old "Jim Crow," you should read of his adventures for yourself. All the folks down in Pleasant Valley know Solomon Owl. Well, it's this way. If you hear Solomon Owl on a dark night when his "Wha-Wha! Whoo-ah!" sends a chill 'way up your spine, and if you see him you can never forget him, either.
"He won't touch me. He's a-scared of my light." And then Freddie Firefly flitted away. He found Solomon Owl easily enough. He had heard Solomon's Wha-wha, whoo-ah! booming from the edge of the woods. And he soon persuaded Solomon to fly down into the meadow. Solomon Owl sailed above the waving grass, while Freddie Firefly spoke to Jennie Junebug. She liked his scheme.
"I have a great many relations," he declared stoutly. "Ours is a big family." "Yes but not nearly so big as it was when I first came to this neighborhood to live," Simon told him with a sly smile. He had hardly finished that remark when a loud wha-wha, whoo-ah came from a hemlock not far away. And the next moment Simon's cousin Solomon Owl sailed through the moonlight and alighted near him.

He seemed much surprised that Solomon Owl should be so agreeable. “Can you hear me?” Reddy asked him. “Perfectly!” said Solomon. “That’s strange!” Reddy Woodpecker exclaimed. “I was almost sure you had suddenly grown deaf.” And he could not understand why Solomon Owl laughed loud and long. “Wha-wha! Whoo-ah!” Solomon’s deep-voiced laughter rolled and echoed through the woodland.
