The Crow and the Pitcher

A crow, a black bird, was dying of thirst when he saw a pitcher, a container for holding and pouring water. He flew to it eagerly, hoping for a drink. But he was disappointed to find so little water inside that he could not reach it. He tried every way he could think of, but nothing worked.

Finally, he collected as many stones as he could carry and dropped them into the pitcher one by one. The water rose until he could reach it and drink, saving his life.

When we really need something, we can find clever ways to solve a problem.
