"who? who?"

"'A big boy nine years old is old enough to remember to mind,' he said. 'There's a good reason for what I tell you to do, he said, 'and if you'll do as you're told, no harm will come to you... If you'd obeyed me, as you should, you wouldn't have been out in the Big Woods after dark, and you wouldn't have been scared by a screech-owl.'" -Little House in the Big Woods, Chapter 3, "The Long Rifle"

I think this owl looks a lot like the Garth Williams' illustration in Big Woods.
