AESOP FABLE

• The Crow
• the Pitcher/Water Jar

48
Classical Aesop Fable -The Crow the Pitcher
A crow was very thirsty because it had not rained
for quite a while and the land was dry. The
crows throat was so dry that he could not say
Caw. His black feathers were dusty. The crow
was so weak that he could hardly fly.

Water???
The crow went looking for water. He came to a
farm. He spotted a pitcher sitting on the ground.
He thought for a moment hoping that there would
be water in the pitcher.
.
4
50
????How??
The crow hopped to the pitcher. He looked inside
and was happy to found water in the pitcher. His
happiness didnt last long because he could not
reach the water at the bottom of the pitcher. He
tried and tried other methods including pushing
or breaking the pitcher to reach out the water
but in vain. He was very desperate but did not
give up. Then he calmed down and start thinking!!
6
51
Then the crow started looking around and he saw
lots of pebbles. While thinking he got an idea
when he saw the little stones.
8
52
The crow took a pebble at a time in his beak. He
dropped the pebble into the water pitcher. Plunk!
The water got up a little higher. He dropped
another pebble into the pitcher. Plunk! The crow
kept on adding more pebbles. Plunk! Plunk!The
water got even higher.
9
53
At last, the crow could reach the water. He took
a long sip of water and really satisfied.
12
54
What is the Moral of the Fable?

1. Creative Thinking is superior to brute strength
2. There is always a way - Necessity is the mother
   of invention
3. This is a classical Reversal Method, The Crow
   was thinking of drinking water out of the pitcher
   but instead it thought of putting stones in.

A farmer's donkey fell into a well. The animal
cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to
figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the
animal was old, and the well needed to be covered
up anyway it just wasn't worth it to retrieve
the donkey.
56
The Donkey Story
He invited all his neighbours to come over and
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to
shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey
realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieten. A few
shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked
down the well. He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the
donkey was doing something amazing. He would
shake it off and take a step up.As the farmer's
neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the
animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and happily
trotted off!
