The Crow & the Pitcher
1st Language Lesson # 62
December 5, 2007

There was a black crow. He was flying over a field when he started to get thirsty. So, he flew to a little town and then he saw a pitcher. So, he flew down to drink out of the pitcher. When he got there, he tried to get to the water, but he could not drink it. It was too far down in the pitcher. So, the crow thought if he moved the pitcher all the water that fell into puddles he could drink out of. But, that did not work. The pitcher was too big. So, he tried to reach down into the pitcher, but that did not work either. So, he got really tired and didn't think he would be able to try again. So, he sat thinking under the shade of the tree. Then he saw pebbles by a walkway of a door. He thought if he collected pebbles and dropped them in one by one that the water would raise up so he could drink it. One by one he put the pebbles into the pitcher and soon the water was high enough where the crow could drink it. Then the crow drank until he was full and flew away.

Moral: To be patient and to not give up.
