Aesop's Fables story's review: Chapter2 The thirsty crow

"One hot summer, a thirsty crow was searching for something to drink. Then in the distance he spied a pot on someone's windowsill. He flew over to take a closer look. He could see water, but he couldn't reach it. "Maybe I could break the pot..." he thought. But his beak wouldn't crack the hard clay. "If I just knock the pot over..." He pushed with all his weight but the pot wouldn't budge."

But this crow doesn't give up. He used pebbles. He picked pebbles up one by one and dropped them into the pot.

"Each pebble pushed the water up a little higher, until the crow could finally take a sip."

In this way, the crow can get drinking cold water. And this story tells us that it is important to continue trying until we get what we want.
