"When he stopped beaming like a star on a string, the people lost interest. They stopped pointing and laughing, and they went about their business and left Raven alone, which was how Raven liked it. Except when he was hungry. Which was nearly always.”

Narrative text written by Garth Stein.

"Raven was not pleased; he thought he looked like Elvis in his Las Vegas days. He hopped down to the beach where the people lit bonfires at night. He rolled in the charcoal left behind by the fires. It did not take long for Raven to blacken his feathers again. ..."
