As they neared the long row of brown-fruited sumachs Mrs. Wilson paused and stood in a listening attitude. "Say, isn't that Willium's varmint of a crow settin' up there on that ash?" she asked, pointing to the slender tree growing among the sumachs.，“It was really shameful of those great big boys,” said Mother.，Billy puckered up his lips, but his effort was a failure.
