Short Moral Story

The Thirsty Crow

A crow finds a pitcher with just a little water at the bottom.

A thirsty crow searched everywhere for water and finally found a pitcher — but the water was too low to reach.

He tried to push the pitcher over. He couldn’t. He tried to reach further inside. He couldn’t.

Then he had an idea. He dropped pebbles in, one by one, until the water rose to his beak, and he drank his fill.

Moral of the story

A clever idea can solve what strength cannot.
