The Crow and the Pitcher(烏鴉與水罐)

来源：育路外语考试频道发布时间：2008-09-25

One day a crow saw a pitcher and, feeling ready to die with thirst, flew to it with joy hoping to find it full of water. When he reached it he discovered, to his great disappointment, that it contained but a very little water, and that so low in the pitcher that he could not reach it. He tried every means in his power to get at the water, even endeavoring to overturn the vessel, but this he was not strong enough to do. At last, seeing some peddles lying about, he brought them one by one and dropped them down the neck of the pitcher, and, thus, by degrees, he raised the water up to the brim, when he was able to drink to his heart’s content. *** “Necessity is the mother of invention.”
