Kn empty stomach doesn't choose. Nlught that ll food will it refuse- "'- V ..-Blacky the crow.

. Biaclw the Crow isn't fussy about his food. Long ago he got over all fussiness about what he hits. It isn't that he likes every- th every one else. there are some things he likes better than others. There are some things heprobably doesn't like at all. But he knows what it is to have an empty stomach and be very, .very hungry. This is especially true in winter. some days he can find hardly a hit to eat and at night goes back to his roost in the Green Forest with a stomach so nearly empty that he feels as if he-has no strength at all.

Blacky had been over to the Big River. He had had no luck over there. Now he was flying above Laughing Brook over in the Green Forest. As he flew his keen eyes searched on cvery side for any- thing that could be eaten. He didn't care at all what it might be. He hoped he might find where some one else had been luckier than he and had had a good meal. some times at such places he found scraps he could eat, and he was very grateful for scraps.

- Blacky had reached a place where the water was running too swiftly to freeze over. Most of Laughing Brook was covered with ce. but here was cold, black. open Water.

"Ha!" exclaimed Blacky. His lharp eyes had discovered the tail of a small fish lying on the bank.
