The opening

How “Green Forest Stories” begins

Blacky the Crow is always watching for things not intended for his sharp eyes.

The result is that he gets into no end of trouble which he could avoid.

In this respect he is just like his cousin, Sammy Jay.

Between them they see a great deal with which they have no business and which it would be better for them not to see.
