crabs I find on the river bank.

The camel without second thought, readily agreed and the fox jumped up on his

While the camel was still eating, the fox began to howl. The noise brought the

“Oh, it’s my habit to howl after dinner,” replied the fox, unmindful of the heavy

Selection: The Thirsty Crow
“Oh what a hot day it is! And not a drop of water in sight!”, said a thirsty crow. It flew
from place to place looking for some water. But all the lakes and rivers had dried up and there
was no sign of rain.
“I’ll surely die of thirst if I don’t find some water,” said the crow.
As it searched here and there in worry, it spotted a large container in front of a deserted
house. It perched on it and saw that there was some water on it, but at the bottom, beyond its
reach.
It thought hard and soon an idea came to its mind. There were many pebbles lying
nearby. It picked up the pebbles one by one, and dropped them into the container. Slowly the
water level started rising. The crow kept at it, never giving up. Soon the water level was high
enough for it to reach and it was able to quench its thirst.
