    Once upon a time in a dense forest, there lived a clever crow. The crow was known all across the forest for its quick thinking and problem-solving skills.

    One hot summer day, the crow was flying around the forest looking for water. It was the peak of summer and finding water was very challenging.

    The crow flew for hours, but couldn't find any water. It was getting tired and the heat was unbearable. Its throat was parched, and it desperately needed a drink.

    Finally, the crow spotted a large vessel in the distance. It quickly flew towards the vessel, hoping to find some water in it.

    The crow reached the vessel and looked inside. It was disappointed to see that the water was at the bottom of the vessel, far too low for it to reach.

    The crow didn't lose hope, though. It started thinking of ways to bring the water up to a level where it could drink from.

    Suddenly, an idea struck the crow. It remembered seeing a pile of pebbles nearby. The crow flew to the pebbles and picked up one in its beak.

    The crow flew back to the vessel and dropped the pebble into it. The pebble sank to the bottom and the water level rose slightly.

    The crow was delighted to see this. It immediately flew back to the pile of pebbles and picked up another one.

    The crow kept dropping pebbles into the vessel, one by one. With each pebble, the water level rose a little more.

    After dropping many pebbles, the water level in the vessel finally rose enough for the crow to reach. The crow was overjoyed.

    The crow bent over the edge of the vessel and drank the cool water. It was the most satisfying drink it had ever had.

    The crow felt rejuvenated after quenching its thirst. It flapped its wings in joy and flew off into the sky, ready to face the rest of the hot day.
