Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.
Black, solemn-looking Mr. Crow
Steals the good farmer's corn, you know;
If you ask why he breaks the laws,
He answers, wisely: "Caws, caws, caws,"

A CROW TEACHES TODDLES A LESSON.
Toddles was a greedy boy. He never shared his cakes or oranges with others, but went into a corner and ate them by himself. Even when a hungry crow asked him one day for only a few crumbs of the piece of bread and butter he was eating, he would not give it. You would think it would be worth a few bread crumbs to make friends with a real talking crow, now, wouldn't you?
"I'll get even with you," said the crow angrily, and then it pecked at Toddles' legs until he cried with pain. It chased him down the garden path. Now this was a fairy crow, although Toddles did not know it, and after it thought it had teased him enough it said, "Be little!" and in an instant the boy became as small as a sparrow. Then the crow picked him up in its bill and carried him to the top of a tree, where it put him in a cage, saying, "Stay there till you learn to be good."
Toddles cried and cried. It was uncomfortable in the cage, and besides he became hungry after awhile. Then the crow left a piece of bread for him and went away. Being shut up in a cage made the boy's heart softer, and he gave part of his bread to a hungry wren. Next day he was given a smaller piece, but gave half of it to a doggie that barked beneath the tree. The crow then turned Toddles into a boy again and took him home. Henry Altemus Company.
