From the Back Cover:

"Hello, I'm a magpie. I live in this sycamore tree. You see the gold ring I'm holding in my beak? I found it. Well, I pinched it really. I used to have lots of stolen things in this nest. Not any more.
Let me tell you the story. It all began yesterday afternoon...

What leads the crow to renounce his previous ways and who is the mysterious man, called Jesus, who wants to stay with the unpopular tax collector Zacchaeus?
