After a little , he did n't try . Now Blacky the Crow is very , very cunning . He is one of the smartest of all the little people who fly . No one can get into more mischief and still keep out of trouble than can Blacky the Crow . That is because he uses the wits in that black head of his . In fact , some people are unkind enough to say that he spends all his spare time in planning mischief . The more he thought of those eggs , the more he wanted them , and it was n't long before he began to try to plan some way to get them without risking his own precious skin . `` 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 XXXXX or Mrs. Hooty a bit , but it will make them very angry .
