There was a Crow who was half-dead with thirst. He came upon a Pitcher which had once been full of water.
But when the Crow put its beak into the mouth of the Pitcher he found that only very little water was left in it, that he could not reach down to get the water.
He tried, and tried, but at last he had to give up. Then a thought came to his mind, and he took a stone and dropped it into the Pitcher.
Then he took another stone and dropped it into the Pitcher. Then he took another stone and dropped that into the Pitcher.
He continued the same method and at last, he
saw the water came up near him, and after
dropping few more stones he was able to fulfill his
thirst and save his life.
Moral: Little by little does the
trick.
