Scarecrow Joe

The old crows weren't afraid of Scarecrow Joe. Farmer Robin knew that she had to do something, so she dressed Joe in black clothes.

"That will make you look scary." she said to Scarecrow Joe.

But the crows through that Joe looked like a big, black, friendly bird. They just kept eating Farmer Robin's corn.

One day an eagle flew over the field and saw the crows eating Farmer Robin's corn. The eagle decided to help poor, frightened Scarecrow Joe by swooping down and scaring the crows.

The eagle said, "I'm an eagle who scares crows," and sat on Joe's shoulder. From that day on, the eagle and the scarecrow kept Farmer Robin's corn safe.
