What is that?

The Babi sheep is falling asleep. A gentle wind blows outside the window, and the full moon shines brightly.
The shadows from the branches of the trees outside rise and lie on the wall. She likes to watch it until she falls asleep.
Suddenly, a dark shape flaps and lands on one of the branches above the wall.
– What's that weird thing? – Babi asks.
The shape is very large and very dark. It remains where it landed, rising and falling as the branch moves in the wind.

– Uh-uh-uh! – Babi hears a strange and sad scream outside right by the window. – Uh-uh-uh!
- It must be that shape in the shadows, screaming like that. But what is that? – Babi wonders.
“I know my window is closed, so I'm safe.” She mutters to stop being scared. Still, she wants Mom and Dad to come. She runs to their room.
– Mom, dad come quickly! There's a monster out there! - She whispers in the dark. They jump out of bed and run to her room.
Dad looks at the wall and then at the window.
– Babi, you're lucky! – he exclaims – Your visitor on that branch is the great eared owl. They are believed to bring good luck!
- And even? – Babi asks dubious – Could she please go bring good luck to other people tonight?
