Answer:
1) Frustrated by the crows that steal his chicken’s corn, the narrator asks his father why he can’t ever catch them. Laughing, his father tells him a story passed down through the generations from the boy’s great-grandfather in Mexico. It begins with two crows watching farmers sow a field of corn. Father Crow is teaching his son, Little Crow, to be wary of people, who are nice enough to provide feed, but are also likely to zing stones at crows to scare them off. After some consideration, the young crow has a revelation. His insight provides crows all over the Americas with a better way to protect themselves from the sneaky habits of humans.
