In the Forest of Nod, a snail is rudely awaken by an Odd Old Owl's snoring. She attempts to rally all the birds who come by her tree in increasingly large numbers to help her wake the owl so she can catch a few zee's. They clitter-clatter, shout, shriek, screech, squawk, whir, sing, quack, knock, hammer, chirp, chirrup and cheep..." But One Odd Old Owl continues to sleep." Finally comes a "Princely Peacock" whose "deafening fanfare gets rid of that Odd Old Owl all right "But before that poor Snail can doze off to bed, fifty-five birds start snoring instead!"
