The thirsty crow 口干舌燥的乌鸦 There once lived a young crow in the countryside. One summer, there was no rain and it was very hot. The crow was very thirsty, but he couldnt find any water. How can I survive? he thought. I must have water or Ill die! Just then he saw a farmhouse. Outside the house, there was a vase with some water at the bottom. He tried to drink, but he couldnt reach the water inside. The young crow didnt know what to do. He leaned against the vase and cried. Will somebody please help me? sobbed the crow. He cried and cried, but nobody heard him. Finally, he dried his eyes and stood up. He tried knocking over the vase, but it was too heavy. Then he tried breaking it, but he wasnt strong enough. Finally, he had a good idea. He began dropping stones into the vase. The water slowly rose to the top. At last, the crow could drink. What wonderful water! said the crow. m glad that I didnt waste all my time by crying. Thinking is much better than crying!
