    The old mother crow was letting off of her young brood when fully fledged and giving some advice.

    The old mother crow was letting off one of her young brood when fully fledged and giving him some advice.
    "Remember" says she, "if you see a garsún stoop for a stone you are to fly away at once."
    But mother, says the young crow
    What shall I do if he has the stone in his pocket?"
    "Be off with you, says she, YOU'RE fit for the road."
