.THE CROW 113 



The crow was very angry. 

 "Get away," she said. 



" No one but a parent knows how good and 

 beautiful are her children." 

 " I see," said the farmer. 



THE CROW 

 scarecrow speckled 



Look at this Crow. 



He is with us summer 

 and winter. 



I wonder what 

 he finds to 

 eat. 





Let us look at his beak. 

 Perhaps that will tell us. 

 It is strong enough to eat corn. 

 Besides, farmers put scarecrows in their corn- 

 fields.
