Not to mention the saying, "wise owl."
I like this question a lot, it's much more interesting than something like, "Jack and Sally have 4 apples, Jack eats an apple, how many apples do they have?"
I agree, critical thinking is a thing of the past; kids get dumber with every passing generation.

I chose the same answers as the op except I answered crow not owl.
If you go back, the crow had explained his thoughts better than the owl did.
I should let my 13 year old read it and see what he says.edit on 23/4/12 by shadow watcher because: (no reason given)
The end moral is the clue as to who is the wisest.
I agree - the owl was the wisest. But, I think the animals ate the pineapple because they were annoyed. I know I was certainly annoyed. It's a goofy story, no matter how you look at it.
My question is - what the heck is a tropical fruit doing in a forest???
The correct answers -- which the state agreed to released Friday -- were that the animals ate the fruit because they were annoyed, and the owl was the wisest animal.
