The Scared Crow

The November night was cool , at night the wind whistle and howled. Jerry the scare crow was scared , he shivered and cowered. He didn't like the night time , it was always scary and cold. Jerry's job was to protect the crops , from the hungry crows. He scared away one , but they were never alone.

Jimmy curled his wing and gave his fellow crow a good speech. He would lead them to battle , victory he preached. " That scary scare crow doesn't stand a chance ! " They all huddled around and listened to Jimmy's new plan.

Now listen up crows ! That scary scare crow is afraid of his own shadow . Nelly , fly to the branch and give it a rattle. Butch , you make the monster , ill do a creepy laugh and we'll have that scare crow run away really , really fast .

The winds grew strong and thunder clapped. The cries in the air made the scare crow react. " Who's there ? What do you want ? I'm a scary scare crow , I will have you for lunch ! " Poor Jerry , his voice echoed and seemed to scare only himself. A chill in the air , he was a scare crow afraid and alone and in need of some help.

Jimmy laughed hard , he thought , that scare crows a dweeb. He then called for his crows , " c'mon guys , it's time to eat. "
They flew towards the corn but something wasn't right , the scariest of scare crows , was putting up a fight. He swung his arms and shouted screams of terror. Jimmy retreated , he needed a new plan , one that was better.

Jerry flailed out of control , the wind was so strong he almost flew out of his straw. He screamed for help , but the crows were frighten and flew off. He didn't mean to frighten them , he was only looking for help. Now Jerry the scare crow was alone and the night has only began.

The winds weren't as strong , they began to slow down. Jerry could hear something rustling from the ground. It was Larry the mouse. Hello , Mr . Jerry , Larry tipped the brim of his hat. Hope you don't mind , I only came for a snack." Jerry didn't mind. He said , " take all that you like , but please Mr . Larry be careful there are crows out tonight.

Jimmy sat on the branch , he sat back and he thought. Maybe we've been going at it all wrong. He snapped his feathers and thought of a song.

🎶 if we could get along , we could maybe get close.
If only I can put a wing , around that scare crow.
There is corn to collect , we must approach with respect.
And maybe just maybe , we can become friends. 🎶

Jimmy lead the way and he glided with caution , he didn't want to startle the scare crow and cause a disruption. The scare crow was in view and Jimmy was close but once again the wind picked up and the scare crow started to yell.

" Please help ! My straw is blowing away ! Please anyone , someone, please, send help right away !

Jimmy could hear the scariest of scare crows , he pleaded for help. Jimmy felt terrible , he and his friends had a change of heart and decided to help. They collected the straw , although some got away. The scare crow thanked Jimmy , Jimmy saved the day.

If there is anything , I mean anything there is I can do for you and your friends , please let me know ! I am Jerry the scare crow and in me you have a friend.

Jimmy rubbed his wings , he said thank you Mr Jerry and yes we do ask for a favor. First allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jimmy and these are my friends. As for that favor Mr. Jerry , we sure love the taste of corn and its sweet lasting flavor.

Jerry chuckled and said take all that you like. We are now friends , there is enough for me , you and the mice. Butch said , I love the taste of mice ! He was excited indeed but Jerry said , no Mr. Butch Mr. Larry is not to eat. Butch understood , Mr. Larry was a friend. Then Mr. Larry rustled through the bush , he poked his head out and said .......The End .
