Passage
A long time ago it is said that Owl ran a dying business. He was asked by many of the other birds to dye all sorts of different costumes. At that time Crow was really smartly dressed, wearing pure white suit when he flew around. Crow came to Owl's dye shop and ordered a costume dyed with a colour unlike any other.
Owl undertook the order, dying the clothes with a colour as black as the blackest coal, unlike any other colour in the world. Crow was so angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. But because of Crow never forgets his complaint and if he even sees Owls face he gets angry and bullies him.
This is why Owl still hides deep in the forest and when Crow is awake not only does Owl not come out, when he is sometimes in a place that is found by Crow he will be in a lot of trouble.
