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.”
The crow flew from one please to another looking for water to drink. He finally found a
pitcher near a well. But there was only a 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.
Then an idea came to the crow. He picked up some small stones. He dropped them into
the pitcher one by one.
“One, two, and 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!”
