- Freedom! Long live freedom! - the blackbirds shouted, the first to see how the peasant caught the villainous owl, who at night kept the entire forest bird brethren in fear.
Soon the joyful news spread throughout the area that the owl had been caught and caged in a peasant's yard. And the man caught the owl with intent. Having planted it as bait, he set a snare for the curious birds.
- Gotcha, villain! - the birds laughed, densely clinging to the fence, bushes and trees.
The most desperate and courageous ones flew close to the cage, trying to painfully pinch an enemy so formidable just yesterday.
- And they found justice for you! Now you won't ruin our nests.
To get a closer look at the captive owl, the birds pushed and pressed on each other until they themselves fell into the trap.
