The story begins with a widowing eagle who seeks to remarry. It is interesting to hear that the eagle is so curious to find out how young the owl is. You never actually find out how young or old the owl is, but you find out that the creatures mentioned along with the owl are the oldest in the entire world. You never find out if he marries the owl and when retelling the story you could add in a wedding between the two.
