funnier pet than a

ne day, last[Pg 13] summer, Jack was picking low 
in
the pasture, when he saw a young 
hopping in the
bushes. The little crow was lame in one

fallen from the

caught him. He carried him home in his
berry-

for him to eat, and gave him fresh water in a tin

Jimmy's lame leg soon got well. His

and he could fly. When Jack called, Jimmy would fly to him and perch
on his

immy Crow liked mischief. He liked to hide things and see people hunt
for them. Once when Jack was getting ready for school,[Pg 15] he could not
find his

at Pepper, and pushed her off her

scratched him with her 
and pulled out a
tail-feather with her

her, unless he wants to steal her

had trimmed it with

hung 
everywhere. When she went
with a

"Where are the candles?" cried

carried them off, and I can't light the

she dropped it and screamed[Pg 21] "Jimmy Crow, Jimmy Crow! Oh, oh! Oh, oh!"
"Oh, naughty

The littlest girl had won! So 
held her
up, and she lit the Christmas Tree.
AFTER THE SNOW STORM.
Just after Christmas there was a great 
storm.
The drifts were higher than the

to wade through snow over his

his wings, and laughed "C-a-w, c-a-w, c-a-w!"
"THE ROSE IS RED"
Tomorrow is St Valentine's day," said 
.
"Whom can
I send a

you know?" asked 
. Jack tried
to think. "I guess it's the one in the big brick

he said. "Her hair is curly, and she gave me an

all around it, with two little

pictures—like this story. "Dear Kitty; The

too.
f course Jack could not carry it himself, or Kitty[Pg 32] would know who
sent it. So he tied it around

they reached Kitty's house he set him down on the

he 
opened quickly, for Kitty was just coming out
with her sled. She looked all around but she could only see

had left there. Then she caught sight of the

and the 
slid down the steps and away to the gate.
Jack jumped out and caught it. "Oh, what a pretty 
!"
cried Kitty. "Thank you, Jack." "No, no!" said 
in a
hurry. "You mustn't know it's me." "Well, then, thank you,
Jimmy," laughed 
. "Now let's go sliding." "All
right," said Jack. He put 
on the sled and
off they all went.
DROPPING STITCHES.

the cookie to the top of the

As he came down with both hands full,
Jimmy fluttered about his

"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
http://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
