THE CROW AND THE PITCHER

 

One day, a crow was very thirsty. For many days, there had been no rain. His throat was very dry. He felt weak. He was too weak to fly. If the crow did not find water soon, he would die of thirst. He felt too weak to fly, but he walked on, looking for water.

Suddenly, the crow came upon a pitcher on the ground. the pitcher had water in it! The crow put his beak in the pitcher but the water was too low for him to reach. The crow was so very thirsty! He tried again to each the water, stretching his beak and neck and back as far as he could. He struggled and strained, and ruffled his feathers, but he could not reach the water at the bottom of the pitcher.

Finally, he stopped. Crows are smart, and this crow stopped struggling and stepped back to look closely and think calmy. The crow noticed many rocks on the ground. He began to put the rocks in the pitcher. As each rock went it, the level of the water rose in the pitcher. After many, many rocks, the water was finally at the top of the pitcher. The crow could reach it. He finally got the drink he needed.

MORAL:- "No problem is too big if you take time to think of a solution".
