Baby owlets hiss, so their mother knows to get them a worm.

The mother owl goes to the farm, because they need worms to eat.

Baby owlets are hungry animals, so they hiss at their mothers.

Mother owls go through a lot of trouble to get their owlets a worm. First they know that when their owlets hiss that they need to find food for them. Second when they get to the farm they search for the worm. Third when they find the worm they have to grab the worm and pull it. Fourth they have to conquer the worm and take control of it. Last they fly home with the worm and let their owlet eat it. Soon after the owlet eats the worm it starts hissing again.
