Aesop’s The Crow and the Pitcher

Then he took another pebble and dropped it into the

Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the
Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the
Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the
Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the
Pitcher. At last, at last, he saw the water mount up near him; and
after casting in a few more pebbles he was able to quench his thirst
and save his life.
