Tom's pet owl, who went by the name Einstein, became most active in that time between dusk and dawn that Tom has heard his parents call nighttime. Nighttime was a scary time for Tom, for it often found him outside with Einstein, and the darkness frighten him with all its strange sounds coming from the woods. The woods were filled with large creatures that would get you, Tom's older brothers were fond of saying. Einstein was Tom's veterinarian father's gift to him. His dad had hoped that nursing Einstein back to health would help Tom overcome his fear of the nighttime and the dark and he reminded Einstein that the stars come out at nighttime.
