The Crow And The Jar

One hot day a crow became very thirsty. He searched for water here and there for a long time. At last he found a Jar. There was a little water at the bottom of the Jar. But it was too low and was beyond his reach. He tried many means to get it. But all his efforts failed. He then thought upon a plan. He picked up some stones with his beak and dropped them one by one into the Jar. At this, the water came up to the mouth of the Jar. The Thirsty Crow drank as much as he could. Thus by this clevei trick the crow got what was beyond his reach.
