Once upon a time, in a scorching hot summer day, a thirsty crow flew over a village in search of water. After flying for a while, the crow finally spotted a pitcher of water in a garden. However, the water level in the pitcher was too low for the crow to reach.
The crow tried to tip over the pitcher but it was too heavy. So, he came up with an idea. He started picking up pebbles and dropping them into the pitcher one by one, causing the water level to gradually rise. After several attempts, the water level in the pitcher rose enough for the crow to quench his thirst.
As the crow drank his fill of water, he noticed that the level of the water had risen so high that a few insects had fallen in and were struggling to get out. The crow felt pity for them and thought of a way to help them. He picked up more pebbles and dropped them into the pitcher, making small waves that pushed the insects towards the edge of the pitcher, from where they could easily fly away.
The crow felt happy to have quenched his thirst and helped some other creatures in the process. From that day on, the pitcher became a regular stop for the crow, who always made sure to check if any other insects were in need of help before taking a sip. And the insects, who had witnessed the crow’s kindness, started leaving some water in the pitcher for him as a token of gratitude.
