But it was n't Farmer Brown 's boy . I do n't like the looks of it . I do n't indeed . I 'll keep watch of this place and see what happens .

The very first thing Blacky did , as soon as he was awake the morning after he discovered the man scattering corn in the rushes at a certain place on the edge of the Big River , was to fly over to the pond of Paddy the Beaver and again warn Mr. and Mrs. Quack to keep away from the Big River , if they and their six children would remain safe . Then he got some breakfast . He ate it in a hurry and flew straight over to the Big River to the place where he had seen that yellow corn scattered .
XXXXX was n't wholly surprised to find Dusky the Black Duck , own cousin to Mr. and Mrs. Quack the Mallard Ducks , with a number of his relatives in among the rushes and wild rice at the very place where that corn had been scattered .
