The Crow And The Pitcher
The Crow And The Pitcher
A Crow, half-dead with thirst, came upon a Pitcher which had once been
full of water; but when the Crow put its beak into the mouth of the Pitcher he
found that only very little water was left in it, and that he could not reach
far enough down to get at it. He tried, and he tried, but at last had to give
up in despair. Then a thought came to him, and he took a pebble and dropped it
into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped it into the Pitcher.
At last, at last, he saw the water mount up near him, and after casting in a
few more pebbles he was able to quench his thirst and save his life.
