One hot day, a crow was very thirsty.
He flew over the fields.
He looked for water.
He looked near the trees.
He looked near the river.
But he could not find any water.
After a long time, he saw a small pitcher under a tree.
The crow was very happy.
He flew down quickly.
There was a little water in the pitcher.
The crow tried to drink.
But his beak could not reach the water.
He felt sad.
Then he looked around.
He saw many small stones on the ground.
The crow had a good idea.
He picked up one small stone.
He dropped it into the pitcher.
Plop!
The water went up a little.
The crow smiled.
He picked up another stone.
Then another one.
Soon, the water was high enough.
The crow drank the water.
He was happy again.
Before he flew away, he looked at the pitcher and smiled.
He knew that a clever idea could solve a difficult problem.
