He looked up in the tall pine tree
where the crows nestbouse swung 10

nest, and fell fluttering 10 the ground.
But she was not hurt, as she spread
out her wings and came gently down
like a feather pillow
We'll I might have known what

That afternoon something happened
TO Jimmie CaW-Caw, the crow boy. He
was let out Of school early on account
Of having his lessons learned so well
and he started off through the woods
TO see If he could find anything TO
hide: crows being very fond Of doing
that
Along Jimmie hoped and flew, and,
ao6 myF What a feast III have"
Jimmie said.
Now is there is one thing. more than
another. that crow boys, or grown-up
crows either, for that matter, are fond
Of. il is eggs. They would rather nave
eggs than ice cream cones, or spear
mint lOllypOps-
SO when Jimmie saw these eggs ne
made I'D his mind he would eat as many
as ne could. and take the hest home 10
Mary and The other crows in the nest
house
On Jimmie fluttered TO the eggs, and
he was Just going to eat the first egg
when. all Of a sudden;
Snap something went, and poor
Jimmie felt himself caught fast by his
leg. There he was IN trap
"Oh, dearr' he caWed- Il see II all
now. Those are only make believe
eggs. This is a crow trap and only
this morning father told me to be care
full about traps, as many crows were
being caught at this time Of the year
O. deari what shall / dO?'
Poor Jimmie Caw-Caw did not know
what TO do He looked at the trap,
which was a strong one, and it had
caught tightly about his leg It hurt
him, too. He tried TO fly up in the air
with IL, thinking he might carry off
the trap and take it home, where his
papa or mamma could take it off But
he could not rise up with II, no matter
how hard he tapped his wings
oh dearr he cawed- viii no one
help me2 Must I stay here in the trap
all night? On, this is terrible"
