Fable of Aesop - The Crow and the Pitcher

   This is a very interesting fable of Aesop. In every fable of Aesop, there must be a lesson for us at the end. We consider that as the moral of the story.

    The Crow and the Pitcher

        - A Fable of Aesop


   In a spell of dry weather, when the Birds could find very little to drink, a thirsty Crow found a pitcher with a little water in it. But the pitcher was high and had a narrow neck, and no matter how he tried, the Crow could not reach the water. The poor thing felt as if the crow must die of thirst.

   Then an idea came to him. Picking up some small pebbles, and the crow dropped them into the pitcher one by one. With each pebble the water rose a little higher. The crow was dropping those small pebbles one after another into the pitcher until at last the water was near enough so he could drink. 



Moral of the story: "In a pinch a good use of our intelligences may help us out."
