"Crow waits at his spot
on the wire.
Alone.
When suddenly ...
RING - RING
RING - RING"
Crow is sitting on a telephone wire when Squirrel comes along to share some good news. Crow shows no interest; Squirrel scurries away. Hummingbird is interested in playing games. No response, but one loud "KAW!" The same happens with Rat and then Bat. Cat has been watching, and lets Crow know he's putting himself in a bad place ignoring his friends. Crow treats Cat in exactly the same way as the others.
Still alone, Crow finally receives the message he has been expecting. Asked if he has cleared the area and offering a positive response, Crow can finally begin his mission. Descending on an elevator inside the telephone pole, he reaches his secret lair and finds what he needs to spring into action. He dons the spacesuit, climbs aboard a waiting rocket ship, and zooms toward a gigantic meteor headed straight for Earth. Crow's training bodes well for the task at hand: to dash the meteor into small pieces before it reaches the Earth's atmosphere. Success! Only then does Crow invite his fine friends to join him on the wire: he has a spectacular surprise for them.
Readers will be delighted to find a secret code on the final spread, which is sure to help them decipher a message found on the endpapers. It's a hit!
