CLEVER BIRDS The wild birds known as ravens are thought to be very clever. In fact, they can solve some quite (21) ....... problems, especially when they're trying to get food. For example, one bird was filmed taking a box of nuts from a bird table and (22)................. it onto the ground, so that it would break and the bird could eat the nuts inside! Scientists also (23).... that the birds could actually use stones as tools to (24)........out simple tasks. So in an experiment, they taught five birds to use a tool to open a box with food inside. The birds became very (25)............ at doing this. So for the next experiment, the birds were given a small (26)................of tools to choose from. They always picked the tool that scientists had given them for the first task. And hours later, they could still remember which tool they'd used!

He(23)........... that they should be replaced. The customer's negative (24)......... made Crum extremely angry, so he decided to annoy the customer. He cut a potato into paper-thin slices, fried the pieces until they were hard, then put far too much salt on them. 'He'll hate them,' Crum thought. But the customer loved them and ordered more.
