“The crow and the pitcher
4 Video Views·Feb 17, 2025
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.

The Crow and the Pitcher
A crow, half dead with thirst,
came upon a pitcher which had once been full of water.
But when the crow put its beak into the mouth of the pitcher,
he found that only very little water was left in it,
and that he could not reach far enough down to get at it.
He tried, and he tried,
but at last had to give up in despair.
Then, a thought came to him,
and he took a pebble and dropped it into the pitcher.
Then he took another pebble and dropped it into the pitcher.
Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the pitcher.
At last, at last, he saw the water mount up near him and after casting in a few more pebbles,
he was able to quench his thirst and save his life.
Little by little does the trick.
