Children in the Northern U.S. understand the feeling of being out in the cold for long periods of time. The girl narrator of this story experiences just this, except she is going owling with her father, a cultural tradition for child and father in this snowy region. Uncertain about getting an opportunity to see an owl, the girl must remain as quiet as possible, showing calm restraint.
