Oliver the Owl perches on a low branch.
He holds up two word cards.
One card says because. The other card says so.
"These little words are big clues," says Oliver.
"Because tells why. So tells what happens next."
Ferris grins. "Let us find them in a Fern Hollow notice!"
The word because comes right before a cause.
The word so comes right before an effect.
Ferris reads: "Bennie was tired, so he took a nap."
What comes after so? He took a nap. That is the effect.
Why did he nap? He was tired. That is the cause.
