Thirsty Crow

One hot summer day, a thirsty crow flew all over the fields looking for water. The crow was very thirsty. He flew here and there but could not find water anywhere. After a lot of search, at last, he found an old water pot lying in the out yard of a house. He flew up to the pot and peeped in. He was very happy to see some water in it. But, unfortunately the water level was too low for his beak to reach. He tried to reach for the water but could not reach it.

Just then he saw a small boy sitting in the veranda and reading the story of 'The Thirsty Crow'. He got clue from the story and started looking for the stones to drop in the pot in order to bring the water level up. He looked here and there. Fortunately, he found stones lying around. But the stones were fewer than needed to bring the water level up. An idea flashed suddenly. The crow picked up a big stone and hit the pot. The pot broke. The crow could now reach the bottom of the pot to quench his thirst. He drank the water and flew away happily.

 Moral of the story : 
When the resources are limited, work smart.
