Explore "Bandit Jim Crow" by L. Frank Baum on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
ONE day, when Twinkle's father was in the corn-field, he shot his gun at a flock of crows that were busy digging up, with their long bills, the kernels of corn he had planted. But Twinkle's father didn't aim very straight, for the birds screamed at the bang of the gun and quickly flew away -- all except one young crow that fluttered its wings, but couldn't rise into the air, and so began to run along the ground in an effort to escape.
The man chased the young crow, and caught it; and then he found that one of the little lead bullets had broken the right wing, although the bird seemed not to be hurt in any other way.
