* {{PP|85|32}} "The Lissener and the Other Voyce Owl of the Worl"
This story slightly recalls an American Indian myth in which Owl tries to maintain a permanent night by repeating the word "dark," while Rabbit repeats the word "light." Eventually Owl slips up and daylight is allowed to exist. [http://www.menominee.edu/culturemain/originday.html Here] is a version that is attributed to the Menominee tribe, but similar stories are reported throughout North America. {{By|EB}}

The owl is an age-old symbol seemingly derived, in European myth, from the Etruscans. The Grey Hooded Owl is always in the background of Etruscan art, as a kind of "seeing eye" from the realms of the spirit. This has carried over to traditional Italian witchcraft, Stregha, where the Grey Owl is the symbol of La Streghoneria. {{By|SF}} And owls, like lions and seagulls, recur throughout Hoban's books: they are spirit harbingers in {{Bibliocite|Pilgermann}} and {{Bibliocite|Fremder}}, and there is a more cheerful (but still carnivorous) owl with a repetition compulsion in Hoban's children's story "The Marzipan Pig." {{By|EB}}
