THE CAT AND THE CROW
The Scottish crows in the treetops in a garden at Wick were continually quarreling, but one day lately they forgot their disputes and showed a surprising unity. A black cat had caught one of the crows, and the victim made loud protests, so that at once there was a chorus of indignant squalking from the trees. Then in mass formation a flock of crows swooped to the ground. The cat was stealing off with its prey, but the crows formed a noisy circle round it and it could not pass. They were so menacing that the cat dropped the crow, which flew off, safe. |
