I am a Crow

Come and meet the crow. She sits in this tree full of ripe fruit, calling out to everyone below. 'Caw, caw, caw,' she says.

She has three chicks in her nest. They call hungrily for their breakfast. They can't find food for themselves yet.

When they are fed, mother crow brings her chicks shiny treasures to make their nest bright and pretty.

But for mother crow, it is usual for her to make many trip a day. It is a good thing she has strong wings to fly her around.

For lunch, she might get some crumbs. The girl with her dog looks like she might drop some. Mother crow waits patiently for the girl to go.

Then she sees something even better. A lady walks casually under the tree with a basket full of fish. 'I'll have one of those,' thinks mother crow.

She swoops down and snatches a small fish from the basket. Mother crow is away before the lady can do anything about it.

Other crows try to take it from her. But mother crow needs to feed her chicks and she wins the fish in the end.

The chicks get the fish. There is not enough for mother crow. She is happy with one of the fruit instead.
