Rephrasing for a 6-year-old: 3 Simple Ways to Say "Without the scarecrow, the crows would eat up the crops"

Here are 3 simple ways to say that sentence:

1. If the scarecrow wasn't there, the crows would eat all the crops.
2. Without a scarecrow, the crows would gobble up the crops.
3. If we didn't have the scarecrow, the crows would eat the farmer's crops.

How I changed it (easy steps):

1. I kept the meaning the same: the scarecrow stops the crows from eating the crops.
2. I used different words that mean the same: "wasn't there" or "didn't have" instead of "without," and "eat all" or "gobble up" instead of "eat up."
3. I made the sentences short and simple so a 6-year-old can understand them easily.
