shouted Blacky . At once all his relatives within hearing hurried over to join him . They knew that he was tormenting Hooty , and they wanted to join in the fun . It was n't long before there was a great racket going on over in that lonesome corner of the Green Forest . Of course Farmer Brown 's boy heard it . He stopped and listened . `` Now I wonder what Blacky and his friends have found this time , '' said he . `` Whenever they make a fuss like that , there is usually something to see there . I believe I 'll so over and have a look . '' So he turned in the direction of the lonesome corner of the Green Forest , and as he drew near , he moved very carefully , so as to see all that he could without frightening the Crows . He knew that as soon as they saw him , they would fly away , and that might alarm the one they were tormenting , for he knew enough of Crow ways to know that when they were making such a noise as they were now making , they were plaguing some one . Blacky was the first to see him because he was watching for him . But he did n't say anything until Farmer Brown 's boy was so near that he could n't help but see that nest and Hooty himself , sitting up very straight and snapping his bill angrily at his tormentors . Then Blacky gave the alarm , and at once all the Crows rose in the air and headed for the Green Meadows , cawing at the top of their lungs . Blacky went with them a little way . The first chance he got he dropped out of the flock and silently flew back to a place where he could see all that might happen at the nest of Hooty the Owl . When Farmer Brown 's boy first caught sight of the nest and saw the Crows darting down toward it and acting so excited , he was puzzled . `` That 's an old nest of Red-tail the Hawk , '' thought he . `` I found that last spring . Now what can there be there to excite those Crows so ? ''
Then he caught sight of XXXXX the Owl .
