l In the foil Biacky the Crow had [watched great numbers of hln fa’.- low Crows start for the Sunny South to spend the winter. Blacky ihad been tutnpted to join them lbut decided not to. He didn't like _the idea of that long journey. iSome o1 his friends, feeling as he Idid, had decided to remain, so Iiilecky did too. He had done the same thing in other years and he was sure he could somehow man- _ age to find enough to eat, enough to keep from starving anyway. l “Perhaps this will be an easy winter." thought Blacky. "If it is I know I can get along. Anyway. [if it promises to be hard I can move farther south when I have lo." So Blacky and a few friends re- ‘maincd in the Grcen Forest. Some ‘from farther north joined them ithere. Blacky and the few others who remained roasted together in the Green Forest at night but scattered through the day. for thus lit was easier for all to find some food. 1 Blacky had found out through 10118 BXlIerience that it was fairly ‘safe to visit fannyards and look iaround the buildinnga if he didn't wait too long in the morning. So he always started for these places at break of day. before farm folks were stlrring o;- while they werg

It was in a barnyard very early one morning that Blacky picked up trouble. At first he didn't know he had picked it up. In fact, he didn't know it until he started to tly away when he heard a door of the house being opened. 1t 1m. when he got up in the all‘ that he found trouble clinging to him.
