            “Well,” said the leader of herons, “What color do you crows want to be?”

            “You choose our color, Mr. Heron,” replied the crows.

            “Ah,” said the heron. He looked at the crows and smiled to himself. Then said, “We only paint at night, you know. Painting in the day time is not good. We’ll paint you when it’s dark. But you can paint us now.”

            So the crows painted the heron with clear, beautiful colors. The herons were very pleased. That night, when it was very dark, they collected all the crows together. They took pieces of charcoal and blackened the crows all over. Then they flew away as fast as they could.

            The next morning, the crows saw that the herons had tricked them. They were very angry. They wanted to kill herons. They flew through the sky, crying out, and looking everywhere for the herons. But they could not find them.
