The Crow and the Pitcher

Adapted from Aesop by
Dinah C. Bonao

On a hot summer day, a thirsty crow looked for water to drink.

“It’s hot! I am thirsty!” said the crow. “I need to find water.”

(Have the pupils predict: What do you think will the crow do?)
The crow flew from one place to another looking for water to drink.
He finally found a pitcher near a well. But there was only little water
in the pitcher.

He tried to drink from the pitcher but no matter how much he tried,
he could not reach the water.

“My beak is too big. The pitcher’s neck is very narrow. How will I get
the water?” he thought.
(Have the pupils predict: What do you think will the crow do so he
could reach the water in the pitcher?)
Then an idea came to the crow. He picked up some small
stones. He dropped them into the pitcher one by one.
(Have the pupils predict: After he had dropped some stones into the
pitcher, what do you think will happen?)
“One, two, three…” Plop, plip, plop. Little by little, the water rose in
the pitcher.

“Four, five, six…” Plop, plip, plop. The water rose some more.
Soon the crow could reach the water.

“Now, I can drink!” said the crow. “Ah! It’s cold and good!”
