A Thirsty Crow and a Pitcher

Answer: It was a hot summer day. The sun was beating harder than before. A crow that was wandering here and there in search of food became terribly thirsty. So, instead of looking for food, he decided to go here and there and leave some stones to drink some water but saw that all the ponds and lakes had dried up. So he decided to find water in the area.

But alas! All the doors and windows of the house were closed due to the unbearable heat of the sun. He was really worried but he did not give up hope. While inspecting the area, he discovered a large pitcher outside a former hut. This discovery gave him infinite joy and satisfaction. So, he said to himself, "I was almost dying of suffocation, but here is this pitcher. The water in this pitcher will surely quench my thirst and give me a new life." So he flew into the pitcher with a dry throat but a smiling face. , He saw that there was water under the jug and the jug was big inside, it was impossible for the crow to get water with the last beak of his neck. However, he did not give up hope.

Suddenly he noticed some pebbles lying nearby. So, he thought, "If I throw all these pebbles in the jug, the water level will rise. Then I will be able to get water, drink and save my life." He did what he thought. The water level slowly but steadily rose to the limit. The crow drinks the water of his feelings. For now he seems to have quenched both hunger and thirst. He was thus rewarded for the presence of the mind. He happily left to bless the farmer, but did not know what great work he had been able to do.

Morality: Where there is desire, there is way. Or, we should never give up hope. (322 words)
