One hot summer day, a crow was flying in the sky. The sun was shining very brightly. The day was very hot. The crow felt very thirsty. He wanted to drink some water. He looked around, but he could not find water anywhere.
The crow kept flying for a long time. He was very tired. His throat was dry. He thought, “If I do not find water soon, I will die of thirst.”
Suddenly, the crow saw a big garden. There were many trees and flowers in the garden. The crow felt happy. He thought, “Maybe I can find water here.” He flew down and started looking around.
After searching for some time, the crow saw a tall pot. He flew near the pot and looked inside. There was some water at the bottom of the pot. But the water was very low, and the crow could not reach it. He tried to put his beak inside, but he could not drink the water. The crow felt sad.
The crow did not lose hope. He started thinking, “How can I drink the water?” Suddenly, he had a clever idea. He looked around and saw many small stones on the ground. He picked up a stone with his beak and dropped it into the pot. The stone went inside, and the water level rose a little.
The crow was happy. He picked up another stone and dropped it into the pot. The water level rose again. The crow kept picking up stones and dropping them into the pot one by one. Slowly, the water level rose higher and higher.
After some time, the water reached the top of the pot. The crow was very happy. He put his beak into the pot and drank the cool water. His thirst was gone. He felt fresh and strong again.
The crow was very proud of himself. He said, “I did not give up. I used my mind, and I found a way to drink the water.” Then the crow flew away happily.
