By the light of the stars, by the light of the moon, I will always return.

Orris the rat and Timble the owl are friends. Each night, Timble comes to the barn to visit Orris and listen to his stories. But Timble is growing up, and when he doesn't appear one day, Orris wonders if perhaps Timble has forgotten him. Is their friendship over— or does Timble have a story of his own to share?
