Their eyes caught sight of a creature perched on an old wooden fence. It was a lechuza, a  little owl with gleaming amber eyes and soft, speckled feathers. The old lady among the group reassured them, "No need to worry, it's just a little lechuza. There are many of them around here."

Eztli was enchanted by the sight of the owl. "She's so pretty," she exclaimed, taking hesitant steps toward the fence where the lechuza sat. Peta, , cautioned her, "Leave her alone, she doesn't want to be bothered." 

Konane added, "Don't get too close, Eztli. You could make her mad." Rono, agreed with Konane, "Konane is right, you don't want to upset her."

Despite their warnings, Eztli's curiosity drew her closer to the lechuza. The old man, a wise figure in the group, remarked, "It's strange. They usually don't get this close to people." Yet, to everyone's surprise, the lechuza seemed to welcome Etztli's approach, inching closer with a grace that was mesmerizing.

Peta's eyes widened in amazement as she noticed the owl nuzzling against Etztli's outstretched hand. "Look, she likes me," Etztli whispered, her voice filled with wonder. "Her feathers are so soft."

Konane couldn't believe his eyes. "What? How did you do that?" he questioned, his gaze fixed on the unlikely bond forming between them. The lechuza, now comfortable in their presence, spread her wings and took flight, circling Peta as if inviting her to pet her too. With a mixture of excitement and trepidation, Peta reached out, feeling the gentle brush of the owl's feathers against her fingertips.

"I didn't know lechuzas could be this friendly," Peta marveled, a newfound sense of connection blossoming between them.  

The lechuza, now at ease with their presence, glided towards Rono and Konane, enticing them to join in the warm moment. As one, the four of them stood together, their hands gently petting the lechuza's head in a united gesture of reverence and reverence towards the mysterious owl.
