Suddenly, the crow saw a water jug under a tree. 'Look! A jug! Maybe there's water inside,' he exclaimed.

He looked inside and saw a little water at the bottom. 'Yay!' he said, but the jug's neck was too narrow. He couldn't reach the water. 'Oh no! I can't reach it!'

He tried to tip the jug over, but it was too heavy. 'Come on, jug! Tip over!' he grunted. 'It's too heavy!'

He sat and thought. 'What can I do?' he wondered. Then he saw some pebbles on the ground. 'Maybe these pebbles can help!' he thought.

He kept adding pebbles until the water rose high enough. 'Now I can drink!' he said happily.
