The Crow and the Pitcher

3 Characters:

• Narrator
• Crow
• Pitcher

Narrator: Once upon a time, in a sunny forest, there lived a thirsty crow.

Crow: (Looking around) Oh, I'm so thirsty. I need water to drink.

Narrator: The crow searched and found a pitcher with water in it. But the water was too low, and the crow couldn't reach it.

Crow: (Thinking) How can I get to that water? I can't reach it with my beak.

Narrator: The crow had an idea. It began to drop pebbles into the pitcher, one by one.

Crow: (Dropping pebbles) If I drop enough pebbles, the water level might rise.

Narrator: As the crow dropped pebble after pebble into the pitcher, the water level started to rise.

Pitcher: (Gurgling) Glug, glug, the water level is rising.

Narrator: Finally, the water was high enough for the crow to drink.

Crow: (Drinking happily) Ah, that's refreshing!

Narrator: The crow had used its intelligence to solve the problem and quench its thirst.

Narrator: The end.

烏鴉與水瓶

三個角色：

• 旁白

• 烏鴉

• 水瓶

旁白：很久很久以前，在一片陽光明媚的森林中，住著一隻口渴的烏鴉。

烏鴉：（四處張望）哦，我好渴。我需要喝水。

旁白：烏鴉四處尋找，找到了一個裝有水的水瓶。但是水太少了，烏鴉夠不到。

烏鴉：（思考中）我該怎麼取到那個水？我的喙夠不到它。

旁白：烏鴉有了一個主意。它開始一個接一個地往水瓶裡扔石頭。

烏鴉：（扔著石頭）如果我扔足夠多的石頭，水位可能會上升。

旁白：隨著烏鴉一個接一個地將石頭扔進水瓶裡，水位開始上升。

水瓶：（咕咕地）咕嚕，咕嚕，水位上升了。

旁白：最後，水位對於烏鴉來說已經夠高，可以喝到水了。

烏鴉：（開心地喝著）啊，真是解渴！

旁白：烏鴉用智慧解決了問題，解渴了。

旁白：結束。
