The Thirsty Crow | A Short Moral Story for Kids | Lesson on Wisdom with Audio

🪶 The Thirsty Crow

Introduction

One hot summer afternoon, a clever crow was flying over a village, searching for water. The scorching sun had dried up all the ponds and rivers, and the poor crow was feeling very thirsty.

“I must find water soon, or I will not survive,” thought the crow.

He looked everywhere but could not find a single drop to drink. Just as he was about to give up, he spotted a tall clay pot sitting under a tree.

The Crow’s Smart Idea

The crow quickly flew down and looked inside the pot. To his delight, there was some water at the bottom!

But there was a problem…

The pot was too deep, and his beak could not reach the water.

The crow tried tipping the pot over, but it was too heavy. He even tried putting his head inside, but the narrow opening would not let him in.

“What should I do?” he wondered.

Then, the clever crow had an idea.

Dropping Pebbles to Raise the Water

The crow picked up a small pebble in his beak and dropped it into the pot.

🌟 Plop!

Then, he picked up another pebble and dropped it inside.

🌟 Plop!

Slowly, with each pebble he dropped, the water level in the pot began to rise higher and higher.

The crow kept going until the water was high enough for him to reach.

With great joy, the crow drank the cool water and felt refreshed.

“My patience and intelligence have saved me!” he thought happily.

With a full stomach and a happy heart, the crow flew away, ready to share his wisdom with others.

💡 “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
