On a very hot afternoon, a little crow flew over the village, looking for water.

At last she found a clay pot in a garden. But the water was so low, her beak could not reach it.

She tried tipping the pot over. It was far too heavy to move.

Then she noticed small pebbles lying on the ground, and she had an idea.

One by one, she dropped the pebbles into the pot, and slowly the water rose higher and higher.

Finally she drank until she was happy. When you think calmly, even a big problem has a small answer.
