MR. OWL

Awhile back I decided to take an early morning stroll. As I was walking I saw Evans (one of our guard/ gardeners) , he started talking rapidly in Chichewa (the local language)  I did not understand . He brought me to his house and emerged with a live owl! I ran to get my mom and dad and they were just as amazed as I was. Our gardener explained that the owl had gotten stuck on the barbed wire on the top of our fence. The owl had flapped its wings trying to get away and you could see feathers on the wire. My dad put it in a card board box and later we brought it to a friend, who tried to help it, but it was too badly injured and they had to put it down. He may not have been very healthy anyway, because we saw that his poop had all kinds of slugs in it, not their normal diet.
