Blacky the Crow Ia fond Of eggs.
In This he is a great deal like other
people-Farme Browns boy, for
instance. But as Blacky cannot
keep hens as Farmer Browns boy
does. he ia obliged &c steal eggs or
else go without. II you come right
down TO plain everyday truth |
suppose Blacky isn't so far wrong
when he insists that he Is no more
of a thief than Farmer Browns boy.
Blacky says that the eggs which
the hens lay belong to the hens and
that he, Blacky. has just as much
right TO take them as. has FARMER
Browns boy He quite overlooks
the fact that Farmer Browns boy
feeds the biddies and takes the eggs
as pay. Anyway, that Is what
Farmer Browns boy says. but | do
not know whether or not the bid
dies understand I. that way.
So Blacky the Crow cannot see
why he should not help himself TO
an egg when he gets the chance.
He doesn't get the chance very
often to steal eggs from the hens,
because usually they lay then eggs
in the henhouse, ana Blacky is too
suspicious To venture Inside. The
eggs he does get are mostly those
OF his neighbors in the Green For
est and the Old Orchard. But once
in great while some foolish hen
will make a nest outside the hen
house somewhere, end II Blacky
happens TO find ii the black scamp
watches every minute he can spare
from other mischief for a chance u
steal an egg.
Now. Blacky knows just what a
rogue Farmer Brown thinks he Is,
and for this reason Blacky Is very
careful about approaching Farmer
Brown or any other man until he
has made sure that he rims 40 risk
Of being shot. Blacky knows quite
as we'll as any one what a gun
looks like. He also knows that
without a terrible gun there !s little
Farmer Brown or any one else can
do To him. So when he sees Farm
err Brown out in mis- fields Blacky
often will fly right over him and
shout "Caw, cav. cav. ca-a-w' IN
the most prov oking way, and
Farmer Browns boy insists that he
has seen Blacky wink when he was
doing it.
But Blacky doesn't ID anything
OF this kind around the buildings of
Farmer Brown. You see he has
learned that there are doors in
buildings and windows, and out OF
one OF these a terrible gun may
bang at any time. 80 though he
has suspected that whatever Farm
er Browns boy would have once

I done he would not now try 10 harm
him. Blacky is naturally cautious
and takes no chances. So when he
comes spying around Farmer
Browns house and barn he does il
when he Is quite sure that no one
Is about, and ne makes no noise
about H. First. Re sits In a tall
tree, from which he can watch
Farmer Browns home. When he Is
quite sure than The way is clear he
flies over TO the Old Orchard. and
from there he inspects the farn,-
yard, never once making a sound.
IL he Is quite sure that no one Is
about he sometimes drops down
into the henyard and helps himself
to corn II there happens &c be any
there.
II was on one OF these silent visits
that Blacky spied something which
he couldn't forget. II was a box
Just inside the henhouse door. In
the box was some hay. and In that
hay he was sure that he had seen
an egg. In fact, he was sure that
he saw two eggs there. He might
not have noticed them but for the
fact that a hen had jumped down
from that box. making terrible
fuss. She didn't seem frightened
but terribly proud. What under the
sun she had TO be proud about,
Blacky couldn't understand, but he
didn't stay TO find out The noise
she was making made him nervous.
He was afraid that II would bring
some one to find out what was 60
ing on. So he spread his black
wings and few away as silently IA
he had come.
Il was as he was flying away that
he saw those eggs. You see, az he
rose into the air he managed to
pass that open door in such a way
that he could glance in That one
glance was enough. You know
Dlacky's eyes are very sharp. he
saw the hay in the box and the two
eggs in the hay. and that was
enough for him. From that instant
Blacky the Grow began to scheme
and plan to get che or both Of those
eggs. II seemed to him that he
never. never had wanted anything
quite so much, and he was sure that
he would not and could not be hap
Ply until he succeeded.
