Narrative Text : The Crows Are In The Corn

Education English | Narrative Text : The Crows Are In The Corn | it happened in Georgia not long ago that a farmer and his wife decided to sleep late, like the rich folk do. It was a beautiful Sunday morning , the kind that brings all god’s creature out play. But not theses farm folk. No they just slept and slept and slept.

The crows were gathered in a large oak tree, having a big morning meeting. They noticed that there was nobody stirring around the house and that he corn was ripe in the field. So they adjourned their meting mighty quick and flew over the field to eat some corn.

“caw-n,caw-n” they cackled excitedly.

The old rooster cook a doodle-doed with all his might.

“caw-n,caw-n” they called.

“ the crows are in the corn! The crows are in the corn!” the rooster cock-a-doodle-doed with all his might.

The farmer kept snoring, and his wife just rolled over and pulled the pillow over her head.

The rooster was frantic. He tried once more :” The crows are in the corn. They are pulling up the corn!”

The farmer and his wife kept right on sleeping, and the crow’s kept right on eating.

The rooster quit crowing ind disgust . nothing would wake the farmer and his wife.

The old turkey came strolling into the yard and watched the proceedings. Finally he said to the rooster, “the corns all ate up, all ate up, all ate up”

When the farmer and his wife finally rolled out of bed, they found than the corn was all gone. That is why in Georgia we say, “the crows are in the corn” when it is time to get up.
