Interesting tale from Aesop

Once upon a time there was a very thirsty crow.Rain hadn't fallen in a long time,and the creek from which she'd always drunk had dried up.Searching and searching for a bit of moisture,the crow finally happened upon a tree under which sat a ceramic pitcher with some water in it.But the pitcher's neck was narrow,and the crow couldn't fit her beak past it to reach the water.Inspired by desperation,the crow at last got an idea.Why not drop small rocks into the pitcher,making the water's level rise?And that's exactly what she did.How sweet it was when at last she quenched her thirst.
-Aesop's tale
