QUOTE : He said that if you were able to look at the crows really closely, you would see that their eyes were stolen baubles, like buttons or marbles.<br /><br />To get real eyes, they had to steal them from children. Older people's eyes were too set in their ways of looking and would be no good for a crow. That's why people don't let their children out after dark. The crow who stole the eyes of a real child was king. With a piece of plastic they could just see what was in front of them, but with a child's eyes, they could see the whole world.
