A Thirsty Crow

[shadowrider]

 One hot day a thirsty crow flew all over the fields looking for water. For a long time he could not find any. He felt very weak and had almost lost all hope. Suddenly he saw a water jug below a large tree. He flew straight down to see if there was any water inside. Yes, he could see some water inside the jug!

 The crow tried to push his head into the jug but sadly he found that the neck of the jug was too narrow. Then he tried to push the jug to tilt it for the water to flow out, but the jug was too heavy.

 The crow thought hard for a while. He began looking around and he saw some pebbles. He suddenly had a good idea to solve his problem. He started picking up the pebbles one by one and dropping them into the jug. As more and more pebbles filled the jug the water level kept rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow to drink. His plan had worked!

 

Moral of the story

 With the right attitude and working smart you can find a solution to any problem. Sometimes you just need to step back a little bit and see what tools are at hand.
