It troubled Blacky . Yes , Sir , it actually troubled Blacky . He knew just what was the matter with Bowser , but for the life of him he could n't think of any way of helping Bowser . `` That dog is homesick , '' croaked Blacky , as he sat in the top of a tall tree , scratching his head as if he thought he might scratch an idea out of it . `` Of course he does n't know how to get home , and if he tried he probably would get as badly lost as he was before . Anyway , they do n't give him a chance to try . I ca n't lead Farmer Brown 's boy over here because he does n't understand my talk , and I do n't understand his . There is n't a thing I can do but keep watch . I wish Bowser would stop barking . It makes me feel uncomfortable . Yes , Sir , it makes me feel uncomfortable . Old Man Coyote got Bowser into this trouble , and he ought to get him out again , but I do n't suppose it is the least bit of use to ask him . It wo n't do any harm to try , anyway . '' So Blacky started back for the Green Forest and the Old Pasture near Farmer Brown 's to look for Old Man Coyote , and for a long time as he flew he could hear Bowser 's voice with its note of homesickness and longing . CHAPTER XXIV BLACKY TRIES TO GET HELP You 'll find that nothing more worth while can be Than helping others whose distress you see . Bowser the Hound . On his way back to the Green Forest near Farmer Brown 's home , Blacky the Crow kept a sharp watch for Old Man Coyote . But Old Man Coyote was nowhere to be seen , and it was too late to go look for him , because jolly , round , red Mr. Sun had already gone to bed behind the Purple Hills and the Black Shadows were hurrying towards the Green Forest . Blacky never is out after dark . You might think that one with so black a coat would be fond of the Black Shadows , but it is n't so at all .
The fact is , bold and impudent as XXXXX the Crow is in daylight , he is afraid of the dark .
