Explore "The Angry Crow" by Basil Hall Chamberlain on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A man came to a certain village whence was not known, dressed only in fine black robes. While he was there, some rice-beer was brewed. On being given some of it to drink, he was very joyful, and then danced. Then, as he went out-of-doors, he re-entered the house with a piece of hard dung in his mouth, and put it in the alcove. As the master of the house became angry and beat him, he, being a large crow, flew out of the window, making the sound "K[ = a]! k[ = a]!" For this reason, even crows are creatures to be dreaded. Be very careful!
