One might think so.
But I can see the Raven. I see him at home as happy as can be.
One might think he is sulking because he didn't get his way. One might think he's trying to make himself known by not showing up. One might say wow Raven what a faker you are.
The Raven simply took a day off.
One might say what a failure only failures take the day off. One might shout why Raven are you not being persistent like me? Like him? Like me? One might shout you're a coward Raven.
No, no, one would be wrong to say such. The raven is not a coward, he is not afraid and he did not give up. The raven stayed home simply because he wanted to rest for a day. He stayed home because he wanted a day to himself. He didn't have it in his head some master plan to get back at the human or make himself look good, he simply stayed home.
As you know the raven get angry often at the human. But, you see, the raven thinks above all of this. He sees that there are other things in life than to do what you're told day after day. The raven doesn't think of himself as better, just more subtle and understanding.
The raven stayed home because he could.
Among the scarecrows, fly on raven
