    Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a smart and cunning crow named Cawley. Cawley was known for his quick thinking and smart tactics. One hot summer day, Cawley was very thirsty.

    Cawley flew from tree to tree in search of water but found none. His throat was parched and his wings were tired. He decided to look for water in the nearby houses.

    After some time, he spotted a house with a small earthen pot in its courtyard. The pot had a little water in it, but it was so low that Cawley could not reach it.

    Cawley didn't lose hope. He thought hard and came up with a plan. Near the house, there were small pebbles. He decided to drop them into the pot to raise the water level.

    He picked up a pebble in his beak and dropped it into the pot. The water level rose slightly. But it was still not enough for Cawley to drink.
