一隻乌鸦渴极了，到处找水喝，但是飞了很久也没找到水源，就停在一棵树上休息，忽然發现树下正好有一个水瓶。乌鸦高兴极了，但是水瓶裡的水不多，而且瓶颈很细，乌鸦试了好几次，都无法把嘴伸进去。

　　他想把水瓶推倒，但是水瓶卡在石头缝裡，怎么推也推不动。乌鸦又急又渴，这时他忽然想出一个办法。他捡了很多小石子回来，投进水瓶裡，石子越来越多，不多的水升上来了，聪明的乌鸦终于喝到了水。

 

【乌鸦喝水的道理和寓意】

不管是人还是动物在遇见困难的时候都要勇敢的面对，想办法让自己的处境好起来。

THE CROW AND THE PITCHER

　　A thirsty Crow found a pitcher with some water in it. But so little was there that try as it might. It could not reach it with its beak, and it seemed as though it would die of thirst within sight of the remedy. At last, it hit upon a clever plan. It began dropping pebbles into the pitcher, and with each pebble, the water rose a little higher until at last, it reached the brim, and the knowing bird was enabled to quench her thirst.
