The Crow and The Pitcher

A thirsty crow searched for water on a hot day and found a pitcher with a little water inside but too narrow for his beak to reach. He realized dropping stones into the pitcher would cause the water level to rise, allowing him to drink. He dropped stones in one by one until the water rose enough for him to quench his thirst, showing his intelligence in solving the problem.

The Crow and the Pitcher

Adapted from Aesop by


Dinah C. Bonao

On a hot summer day, a thirsty crow looked for water to drink.


“It’s hot! I am thirsty!” said the crow. “I need to find water.”
(Have the pupils predict: What do you think will the crow do?)
The crow flew from one place to another looking for water to drink. He finally found a pitcher near a
well. But there was only little water in the pitcher.
He tried to drink from the pitcher but no matter how much he tried, he could not reach the water.
“My beak is too big. The pitcher’s neck is very narrow. How will I get the water?” he thought.
(Have the pupils predict: What do you think will the crow do so he could reach the water in the
pitcher?)
Then an idea came to the crow. He picked up some small stones. He dropped them into the pitcher one
by one.
(Have the pupils predict: After he had dropped some stones into the pitcher, what do you think will
happen?)
“One, two, three…” Plop, plip, plop. Little by little, the water rose in the pitcher.
“Four, five, six…” Plop, plip, plop. The water rose some more. Soon the crow could reach the water.
“Now, I can drink!” said the crow. “Ah! It’s cold and good!”
