After searching for long and not finding any food, it thought, “about time I search for food elsewhere after spending like one week in this neighborhood but no food in sight.” It stretch it wings to its full size and flew away. Spinx look up and saw the white owl as it flew over the horizon in search of food for the night, it wonder how the owl fails to see some juicy rats at the backyard of this tall building.
