THE CROW AND THE PITCHER.
Reading edition
THE CROW AND THE PITCHER.
Patience and ingenuity
The want of natural means supply.
A thirsty crow some water found,
But in a vessel so profound,
That with her neck at utmost stretch,
A single drop she could not reach.
Then stones she in the pitcher places,
Which to the top the water raises;
And by this innocent device
Her thirst at leisure satisfies.
