The Two-Shot Stories - John K Sutherland - Bog

Two-Shot was especially fond of dumplings, but so were all of the other animals in the farmyard. When Thursday came around; dumpling Thursday, everyone ate well, except for Two-Shot. He always missed out. The other animals were very protective of their food on Thursday. They knew from bitter experience that Two-Shot liked dumplings too, and did all that they could to keep him away. However, being a very clever crow, Two-Shot knew that he could think of a way to enjoy dumplings just like all of the other animals, but how could he do it? He would think about it. Then, he had another brilliant idea. He could do it with a little help from his half-brother, One-Shot, and from another, difficult kind of friend. And that's what he did.
