Reading Notes: Crows

The story opens up with a rhyme talking about seeing black crows and the luck associated with them based on the number you see. The young man then dreams and sees seven black crows. His death is foreshadowed in the dream with the seven crows as well as a coffin. He does not realize that it is he who is going to be buried. He gets back to his wife to try and tell her his dream and then passes away.
