The Owl was still there, sitting stiffly just where they had last seen him

"You better hurry or fat-III will be here and stop you" warned one. "There he is! He's coming!" cried another.

All turned to look. Sure enough there was Blacky headed straight for them and flying fast. At the same time he was warning them to keep away from that Owl.

The young boaster knew that: it was now or never. He would have no chance after Blacky got there He spread his wings and began to climb skyward. He would fly high over that Owl so as to look down in the surrounding trees and make sure that: all was as it should be. His brothers and sisters held their tongues as they watched. They were excited, too excited to make a sound. They saw him begin t.o circle. He cried once. Nothing happened. That Owl dldnt. even look up.

The young Crow circled again this time a little lower. Than something did happen. From the midst of some young hemlock trees there came a flash and a sharp, startling noise. The young Crow overhead stopped circling. HQ was falling. Above him e. few black feathers slowly floated down after him. They saw him plunge down among the trees. Then. as on wildly beating wings they flew up they saw a Man rise uom his tilde- out among those young hemlocks. the very place from which they
