The Thirsty Crow\r
\r
Summer had arrived and how! A crow was very thirsty. He flew frantically in search of water, but in vain. All the lakes and rivers had dried up due to the virulent Sun.\r
\r
At long last, he found a water pot lying in the out yard of a house. He flew unto the pot and peeped in. He was relieved. He found some water in the pot. He tried to reach for the water but could not reach it because it was at the bottom. He looked here and there in despair.\r
\r
An idea flashed suddenly. He picked up stones lying around one by one, and dropped into the pot. Slowly the water rose up. Finally, the crow could reach the water. He drank the water and flew away happily with the Sun looking on in astonishment.
