Baba perked right up. They loved talking about their family.
"Yeah, I got one! I started out as an old skeleton, what Mr MacGregor the wolfman found on the barn roof. Then he made me into a scarecrow, an' his neighbour, a witch called Eartha, used an animation spell on me so I could scare the crows proper. It was just a simple spell, the sort you use on brooms. It's not supposed to bring things to life. But for me, it did! Even Eartha don't know why.
I live on the farm with Mr MacGregor, but I still visit Eartha, babysit her cats, help her with her mending. She taught me all I know about fixing things. And MacGregor is big, and strong, and wise, and he looks after me. Even though my crow traps sometimes cause him trouble. Yeah. I got me a good family." Baba said wistfully. They might have closed their eyes, if they weren't buttons.
