The Crow and the Pitcher

A Crow, half-dead with thirst, came upon a Pitcher which had once been full of water; but when the Crow put its beak into the mouth of the Pitcher he found that only very little water was left in it, and that he could not reach far enough down to get at it. He tried, and he tried, but at last had to give up in despair. Then a thought came to him, and he took a pebble and dropped it into 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.


Moral:
 Little by little does the trick.




My words:
We can't always get what we want. But if we want these things so bad, we always find a way to get 'em. Just like the crow who made use of the pebbles to help him drink. We may not get what we want in a snap but a little patience and perseverance, I think, can help in taking a step closer to what we want. As they say, if there's a will, there's a way.
