From Minn of the Mississippi by Holling Clancy Holling-EchoThe old crow, sitting on the dead pines tip, knew these great North Woods. For years he had flapped and soared over northern Minnesota. Each spring he beat his black wings northward-finding his forests, lakes and scattered farms unchanged. Yet this region that the old crow knew so well had been changed and re-changed in its ancient past; and each new change erased tracks of the last, like waves on sand.The old crow wouldnt have given a feather for such far-gone happenings. At this winter-ending time the country was wet. Feeling a raindrop on his beak, he cawed and flapped from his naked pine to a shaggy spruce tree. The wetness was coming again!Big drops pelted into the spruce and found the crow. Swinging his tail, he batted a drop into a shimmering mist. But it was no use-the very air was full of water! He hugged his tattered black robe tighter, closed his eyes and waited for what might come.
