THIRSTY CROW
Come let’s start with the first story
Of a very thirsty Crow.
In search of water, he flew around
Many places, high and low.
He was losing hope,
after trying a Lot.
Then Suddenly he saw tucked under a tree,
Was lying a clay pot.
He flew straight down and found,
there was water but way at the bottom.
Disappointed, he thought and thought
How to solve this problem.
looking around he saw stones nearby,
There is a technique, let mee try.
The pebbles one by one, he clutched
In the beak and dropped in the Pot.
Water slowly came up to the brim
He happily drank, and drank a lot.
Moral :
Use your brain and strong you stay
There will always be a way!”
