That evening Plop is brave and flies down to a boy scout who is guarding the camp-fire and he tells Plop that dark is fun as he and the other scouts sing around the fire; Plop stays with them until the fire has sunk to a red glow and then he flies home. The same conversation as before ensues with his mummy; although the scout says dark is fun, Plop still doesn't like it AT ALL.He tells his parents of all his experiences and tells them that he has realised that through these encounters dark is SUPER after all ... and then he flies off, in the dark, to go hunting with his parents! Plop has arrived as a true barn owl - he is no longer afraid of the dark!
