The Crow & the Pitcher

By Aesop
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.
