        60 The Crow and the Pitcher 1



 


  A thirsty crow once came upon a pitcher with very little water in it.

Try as he would, he could get no water, for it was too far down in thepitcher. "I must find a way to get this water,"thought the crow.

"I am too thirsty to go away without it."Just then the crow saw a pebblebeside the pitcher, and it gave him an idea.

He picked up the pebble 2 and dropped it into the pitcher.

Then, one by one, he picked up more pebbles 3 and dropped them into thepitcher.

Every time a pebble fell into the water, the water rose a little.

At last the water came up far enough for the crow to get all he wanted. "Thatjust goes to show,"said the wise old bird, as he helped himself to thewater, "Where there is a will, there is a way."


crow 乌鸦

pitcher (带柄和大口的)大水罐

pebble 小鹅卵石

will 意志,决心



乌鸦和水罐

一只口渴的乌鸦碰巧遇到一只大水罐,里面只有一点点水。 无论他怎么想办法,他都喝不到水,因为水在罐子底部,太深了。“我一定要想办法喝到水。”乌鸦想。

“我太渴了,我不能不喝水就走了。”就在这时,乌鸦看到水罐旁边有块小鹅卵石,这让他想到一个主意。 他捡起石头,把它放进水罐里。

然后,一块接着一块,他捡了更多的鹅卵石扔进水罐里。 每次一块石头掉进水里,水就上升一点。

最后,水上升到足够的高度,让乌鸦能喝到水了。“那正说明,”当这只年老英明的乌鸦帮他自己喝到水后,说,“有志者事竟成。”
