The Crow and The Pitcher 1




A crow felt very thirsty. He looked for water everywhere. Finally, he found a pitcher.


But there was not a lot of water in the pitcher. His beak 2 could not reach it. He tried again and again, but still could not touch the water.


When he was about to give up, an idea came to him. He took a pebble 3 and dropped it into the pitcher. Then he took another and dropped it in.


Gradually, the water rose, and the crow was able to drink the water.
