Yes, the rooks were still there, and some of them were coming nearer. “Oh,” thought Tommy Smith (but I think he must have thought it aloud), “I have only to wait a little while, and then, perhaps, I shall be able to kill one.” “For shame!” said a voice close to him.

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.” WOULD COME NEAR ENOUGH FOR HIM TO THROW A STONE AT THEM SO HE PUT SEVERAL STONES IN HIS POCKET AND THEN WITH ONE IN HIS HAND HE BEGAN TO WALK TOWARDS THE HAYSTACK WHEN HE GOT THERE HE SAT DOWN BEHIND IT AND PEEPED CAUTIOUSLY ROUND THE CORNER YES THE ROOKS WERE STILL THERE AND SOME OF THEM WERE COMING NEARER OH THOUGHT TOMMY SMITH BUT I THINK HE MUST HAVE THOUGHT IT ALOUD I HAVE ONLY TO WAIT A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN PERHAPS I SHALL BE ABLE TO KILL ONE FOR SHAME SAID A VOICE CLOSE TO HIM TOMMY SMITH LOOKED ALL ABOUT BUT HE SAW NO ONE WHO WAS THAT HE SAID OH PY 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 TO SEE BUT HE FOUND NO ONE THEN HE WALKED ALL AROUND IT BUT NOBODY WAS THERE BUT THE ROOKS HAD SEEN HIM AS HE WENT AROUND THE HAYSTACK AND THEY ALL FLEW AWAY THEN THE SAME VOICE IT WAS A RATHER HOARSE ONE SAID AH NOW THEY ARE GONE SO YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KILL ANY OF THEM
