THE CROW AND THE PITCHER
by Stephanie Gwyn Brown
One hot day, a thirsty crow flew all over the fields looking
for water. For a long time, she could not find any. She felt very weak, almost
giving up hope. Suddenly, she saw a water jug below her. She flew straight down
to see if there was any water inside. Yes, she could see some water inside the
jug!
The crow tried to push her head into the jug. Sadly, she
found that the neck of the jug was too narrow. Then she tried to push the jug
down for the water to flow out. She found that the jug was too heavy.
The crow thought hard for a while. Then looking around her,
she saw some pebbles. She suddenly had a good idea. She started picking up the
pebbles one by one, dropping each into the jug. As more and more pebbles filled
the jug, the water level kept rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow to
drink. Her plan had worked!
