The Crow and the Pitcher By: Aesop
It was a sweltering, hot summer day. A crow, parched with thirst, came upon a pitcher of water. But the pitcher was only half full. The crow leaned and stretched and thrust out his beak as far as he could. No matter how hard he tried, he could not reach the water. 
All of a sudden, the crow had an idea. He picked up a pebble in his beak and dropped it into the water. The water level in the pitcher rose just a tiny bit. So he dropped in another pebble, then another, then one more. The crow continued doing this for a long time. Finally the water in the pitcher had risen high enough. The crow poked in his beak and drank to his heart's content!
What is the lesson in The Crow and the Pitcher?

• Working slowly pays off in the end.

• Be kind to others.

• Respect your elders.

• Drink plenty of water.
