Loading...The Crow and the Pot of Water
Once upon a time, in a bright and bustling forest where the trees whispered secrets and the flowers danced in the sunlight, lived a clever crow named Corbie. Corbie was a shiny black bird with feathers that sparkled like tiny stars whenever the sunlight touched them. Every morning, Corbie would fly high above the forest, gliding on gentle breezes and searching for tasty treats.
But one hot summer day, when the sun was shining fiercely from its blue sky throne, Corbie found himself feeling very thirsty. Let’s join Corbie on this adventure to see what happens when he discovers a pot of water, but oh, it’s not as simple as it seems!

The Crow and the Pot of Water: A Thirsty Quest
Corbie’s wings fluttered strongly as he soared over the dry, brown earth. The forest seemed quieter than usual, and most of the tiny streams were nothing but cracked mud. “Oh, how I wish I could find some water to drink,” Corbie muttered, his throat dry and parched.
Suddenly, shining in a patch of sunlight near a cluster of mossy rocks, Corbie spotted something shiny and round. Zooming down, he landed carefully and peered inside. It was a pot filled with water… but the water was very low — just a little at the bottom!
Corbie’s beak poked and prodded, but he couldn’t reach the water. The opening of the pot was too narrow, and the water was too far below. He looked around for a long straw or a way to scoop it out, but there was nothing that could help.
“Oh no! This pot of water is no good to me if I can’t drink,” Corbie sighed. His wings drooped as he thought about giving up.

How the Crow Came Up With a Clever Plan
Just then, Corbie remembered something his wise grandmother once said: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” That meant if you really wanted to do something, you could find a way to do it, even if it looked impossible at first.
Corbie’s bright eyes sparkled with determination. “I won’t give up! I just have to be clever,” he said to himself.
Looking around the forest floor, Corbie noticed small round stones nearby. He picked one up in his beak and dropped it carefully into the pot. Splash! The water barely moved.
Corbie thought for a moment. “Maybe if I keep adding stones, the water will rise higher?” He fluttered around, gathering more smooth, shiny pebbles. One by one, he dropped them into the pot.
Splash! Splash! With each stone, the water crept a little closer to the top. Droplets sparkled like little diamonds inside the pot, and the thirsty crow’s hope grew stronger and stronger.

The Magic of Patience and Hard Work
Corbie didn’t stop. His beak picked up another stone, his wings fanned with excitement, and his heart was full of hope. Little by little, the water climbed up, shining like a bright blue lake in the pot.
At last, when the water was just near the top, Corbie dipped his beak and took a long, cool drink. It was delicious! The water was crisp and refreshing, and Corbie’s spirit soared higher than ever.
As he sipped, Corbie realized something very important. It wasn’t just luck that helped him drink — it was his patience, his hard work, and the belief that he could find a solution.

A Lesson for All: Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way
Corbie flew back to the tall trees, feeling proud and happy. Along the way, he told his forest friends about his adventure.
“Sometimes,” said Corbie, “when things seem too hard, and you feel like giving up, remember the pot of water. If you want something badly enough and work carefully, you can make it happen.”
Sparrows chirped softly, rabbits twitched their noses, and even the sleepy old owl blinked with a smile. Everyone knew that Corbie’s story wasn’t just about drinking water — it was about being brave, thinking carefully, and never giving up.
