In a spell of dry weather, when the Birds could find very little to
drink, a thirsty Crow found a pitcher with a little water in it. But
the pitcher was high and had a narrow neck, and no matter how
he tried, the Crow could not reach the water. The poor thing
felt as if he must die of thirst.
Then an idea came to him. Picking up some small pebbles, he
dropped them into the pitcher one by one. With each pebble the
water rose a little higher until at last it was near enough so he
could drink.
Work smart!
