`` I ca n't do it alone , '' thought he , `` and yet if I take any one into my secret , I 'll have to share those eggs . That wo n't do at all , because I want them myself . I found them , and I ought to have them . '' He quite forgot or overlooked the fact that those eggs really belonged to Hooty and Mrs. Hooty and to no one else . `` Now let me see , what can I do ? '' He thought and he thought and he thought and he thought , and little by little a plan worked out in his little black head . Then he chuckled . He chuckled right out loud , then hurriedly looked around to see if any one had heard him . No one had , so he chuckled again . He cocked his head on one side and half closed his eyes , as if that plan was something he could see and he was looking at it very hard . Then he cocked his head on the other side and did the same thing . `` It 's all right , '' said he at last . `` It 'll give my relatives a lot of fun , and of course they will be very grateful to me for that . It wo n't hurt Hooty or Mrs. Hooty a bit , but it will make them very angry . They have very short tempers , and people with short tempers usually forget everything else when they are angry . We 'll pay them a visit while the sun is bright , because then perhaps they can not see well enough to catch us , and we 'll tease them until they lose their tempers and forget all about keeping guard over those eggs . Then I 'll slip in and get one and perhaps both of them . Without knowing that they are doing anything of the kind , my friends and relatives will help me to get a good meal . My , how good those eggs will taste ! '' It was a very clever and cunning plan , for Blacky is a very clever and cunning rascal , but of course it did n't deserve success because nothing that means needless worry and trouble for others deserves to succeed .
