Then it rose again, circled, and came down, this time not quite landing but flapping about his head, beating its wings and making a sound. It was the largest crow he had ever seen. As it came down for the third time, he looked up and saw that the inside of its mouth was bright red. Peter got up and waved his arms and for a moment, the bird retreated a little way off and higher up in the sky.
