The Thirsty Crow

“Oh what a hot day it is! And not a drop of water in sight!” said a thirsty crow. It flew from place to
place looking for some water. But all the lakes and rivers had dried up and there was no sign of rain.
“I’ll surely die of thirst if I don’t find some water,” said the crow.
As it searched here and there in worry, it spotted a large container in front of the deserted house. It
perched on it and saw that there was some water in it, but at the bottom, beyond its reach.
It thought hard and soon an idea came to his mind. There were many pebbles lying nearby. It
picked up the pebbles one by one, and dropped them into the container. Slowly the water level started
rising. The crow kept at it, never giving up. Soon the water level was high enough for it to reach and it was
able to quench its thirst.
