Blacky 's eyes are very sharp indeed , as everybody knows . Now , as he drew near , he noticed right away that the door was partly open . It had n't been that way the last time he passed . `` Ho ! '' exclaimed Blacky . `` I wonder if the wind blew that open , or if there is some one inside . I think I 'll watch a while . '' So Blacky flew to the top of a tall tree from which he could look all over the little clearing and could watch the door of the little house . For a long time he sat there as silent as the trees themselves . Nothing happened . He began to grow tired . Rather , he began to grow so hungry that he became impatient . `` If there is anybody in there he must be asleep , '' muttered Blacky to himself . `` I 'll see if I can wake him up . Caw , caw , ca-a-w , caw , caw ! '' Blacky waited a few minutes , then repeated his cry . He did this three times and had just made up his mind that there was nobody inside that little house when a head appeared in the doorway .
XXXXX was so surprised that he nearly fell from his perch .
