Very easy to read. Produced by Kent Fielden, and David Widger "Blacky the Crow" by Thornton W. Burgess is a children's story written in the early 20th century. The tale follows the titular character, Blacky the Crow, as he navigates the challenges of survival and mischief in the Green Forest. The story introduces Blacky's curiosity and cunning as he discovers something unexpected—two white eggs in an old nest that once belonged to Redtail the Hawk, and his subsequent schemes to steal them, leading to encounters with various other forest animals. The opening of the story establishes Blacky’s character as a clever yet somewhat mischievous crow who often finds trouble through his curiosity. In the first chapter, Blacky’s quest for food leads him to an old nest, where he spots what he thinks may be eggs, despite it being an unusual time of year for nesting. Over the following chapters, the storyline unfolds as Blacky grapples with the desire to get the eggs while avoiding the dangers posed by Hooty the Owl, the true owner of the nest. Additionally, his plans for acquiring food lead him to confront the realities of both nature and the consequences of his actions, setting the stage for a lesson in friendship, understanding, and morality against the backdrop of the natural world.
