Marinette carries the box inside her house and opens it. She notices the scarecrow looks, so life-life. She thinks whoever builds it did a fabulous job. She almost drops it due to its heaviness.

        Marinette is a farmer, so she sets the item up outside to ward off the crows. She smiles when she sees he has bright, green hair, red lips, a slanted nose, and legs on slits. She notices he has on a yellow shirt with green patches on the sleeves, blue jeans, and a yellow straw hat. She estimates him to be around six feet zero inches tall.
      When the crows show up later, they see the scarecrow, and fly away because they are afraid of it.

    Marinette writes a letter to the company to inform them of their product expectations. She finds it satisfies her well. She enjoys squash, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, and other foods. She rests better that night than she has in years because she knows her garden is pest free.

    The scarecrow without a name stands as the guardian of the garden. He intends to guard it the best to his ability. He scans the area and sees there are no bugs or other pests nearby.  His built-in laser remains hidden from Marinette's view , since it is under his eyelids. Also, he has a security system that includes a loud, beep sound to alert the police in case of an emergency. His panic button hides inside the back pants pocket.

    The story continues in Chapter 2, The Scarecrow Gets a Name.
