"Why, where were you?" he said. "I did not see you there when I looked." "No," the rook said; "I hid myself under a little loose hay, for I did not want a stone thrown at me. WHY WHERE WERE YOU HE SAID I DID NOT SEE YOU THERE WHEN I LOOKED NO THE ROOK SAID I HID MYSELF UNDER A LITTLE LOOSE HAY FOR I DID NOT WANT A STONE THROWN AT ME
m. Tommy Smith looked all about, but he saw no one. “Who was that?” he said. “Oh, fie!” said the voice. “What? kill a poor rook? What a wicked, wicked thing to do!” Tommy Smith thought that there must be someone on the other side of the haystack, so he went there to see; but he found no one. Then he walked all round it, but nobody was there. But the rooks had seen him as he went round the haystack, and they all flew away. Then the same voice (it was rather a hoarse one) said, “Ah! now they are gone; so you will not be able to kill any of them.” “Who are you?” said Tommy Smith. “I hear you, but I cannot see anybody;” and, indeed, he began to feel rather frightened. “If I show myself, will you promise not to hurt me?” said the hoarse voice. “Yes, I will,” said Tommy Smith. “Very well, then. Throw away that stone you have in your hand, and the ones in your pocket as well.” Tommy Smith did this, and then, what should he see, standing on the very top of the haystack, but a large black rook.
