  乌鸦和水罐

一只乌鸦快要渴死了，看到一个大水罐，就高兴地飞上去，想要喝水。可惜，水罐里的水太浅，他根本够不着。乌鸦想了好多办法，还是一口都喝不到。最后，乌鸦叼来好多小石子，把它们一个个地丢进水罐，直到水渐渐地升到自己嘴边，才终于喝到了水，救了自己一命。

需要是发明之母。

    The Crow and the Pitcher

A CROW perishing with thirst saw a pitcher，and hoping to find water,flew to it with delight．When he reached it，he discovered to his grief that it contained so little water that he could not possibly get at it．He tried everything he could think of to reach the water,but all his efforts were in vain．At last he collected as many stones as he could carry and dropped them one by one with his beak into the pitcher，until he brought the water within his reach and thus saved his life．

Necessity is the mother of invention．P1
