A Crow Drinks Water From the Jug! |
Once upon a time, a thirsty crow was searching for water to drink.
He looked around for a while until he came across a jug with very little water in it. Unfortunately the crow could not reach the inside bottom of the jug. He tried again and again, but he could not reach the water. His beak just touched the water, but he could not drink the water.
"How shall I reach the water?" thought the crow. "I can nearly reach it but it is a little too deep for me."
The crow thought and thought. He then took a pebble in his beak, and he dropped it in the water.
"That should bring up the water a little," thought the crow.
The crow started gathering all the pebbles he could find and dropping them in the jug.
The crow dropped a lot of pebbles in the jug till the water was high enough for it to have a drink.
Moral - Necessity is the mother of invention.
