The Crow and the Pitcher 
    
    
      A CROW perishing with thirst saw a pitcher, and hoping to find
    water, flew to it with delight.  When he reached it, he
    discovered to his grief that it contained so little water that he
    could not possibly get at it.  He tried everything he could think
    of to reach the water, but all his efforts were in vain.  At last
    he collected as many stones as he could carry and dropped them
    one by one with his beak into the pitcher, until he brought the
    water within his reach and thus saved his life.
