       Once there was a crow who was so thirsty that he was getting weak.He was too tired to fly,and the rocks he was walking on hurt his feet. He jltSt had to find water as soon as possible.

He had to get the water out of that pitcher. He paced back and forth and wondered how he could get the water. Then he stubbed his toe on a pebble and tripped. The angry crow picked up the pebble with his beak. He almost threw it out of his way,but then he had an idea.

       The crow hopped to the pitcher and dropped the pebble into it. The water went up just a bit. “My plan is working!” the crow thought. He carried one pebble at a time to the pitcher and dropped each one into the water. It was a lot of work. But pebble by pebble,the water slowly rose.

     Its not easy for people to sail around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.

       One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it.
