During Reading

On a hot summer day, a thirsty crow looked for water to drink. “It’s hot! I am thirsty!” said the crow. “ I need to find water.”

The crow flew from one place to another looking for water to drink. He finally found a pitcher near a well. but there was only little water in the pitcher.

He tried to drink from the pitcher but no matter how much he tries, he could not reach the water.

“ My beak is too big. The pitcher is very narrow. How will I get the water?’ he thought.

Then an idea came to the crow. he picked up some small stones. He dropped them into the pitcher one by one.

“ One, two, three….” Plop, plip, plop. Little by little, the water rose in the pitcher.“Four, five, six…” Plop, plip, plop. The water rose some more. Soon the crow could reach the water.“ Now I can drink!” said the crow. “Ah! it’s cold and good!”
