4135. Otis and
the Rooster were no exception to this type of activity. They were sitting on
the ground and for many hours they occupied themselves with playing games of
tic-tac-toe. They would finish one round, and then scrape it out in the dirt
and begin another.
4136. They paid little attention to who won
and who lost their games, and every now and then one of them would brighten up
and begin to make a suggestion, but the idea would trail off unfinished, or
seem so unlikely that they would not bother to attempt to develop it.
4137. Finally
one of those crows I have been talking about; one of the crows renowned for
their observations and their insights, landed on the ground between Otis and
the Rooster and began to examine the tic-tac-toe game.
4138. After
looking at it for some time, first with his left eye, and then with his right,
he took a step back and said, “What do you mean by this.”
