One hot summer day, a crow was very thirsty. He flew from place to place looking for water. He searched near the fields and the tall trees but found nothing. At last, he spotted a pot with a little water at the bottom. The crow tried to drink but could not reach the water. He thought hard and had a clever idea! He looked around and found some small stones nearby. He picked them up one by one and dropped them into the pot. With each stone, the water rose a little higher. The crow kept adding more stones patiently. At last, the water came up to the top. The clever crow drank the cool water happily. He flew away with a full belly and a happy heart.
