Someone had left a dark red symbol of one of the human holidays that had something to do with mating.
Edwin assumed that one of the girl crows had left it and he looked around the parking lot to figure out who it could be.
He talked with Helen once in a while, and Edwin thought she liked him, but he hadn't seen her lately.
The next night, Edwin found a cookie in his tree. Not many of the crows in the parking lot shared food. Whoever liked him must be very special.
While Edwin was scrounging near the dumpsters the next day, one of his buddies told him that his secret admirer wanted to meet him that night.
Edwin was so excited that he could hardly stand it.
After dark, a small crow landed on a branch of his tree. Instead of Helen as Edwin had expected, it was Carrie who had a crippled leg and had trouble competing with the other birds for food.
Edwin was a little disappointed, but he found out that Carrie was really nice, and they became good friends.
