Fabulele lui Esop pentru copii Corbul și ulciorul Într-o perioadă de secetă, când păsările găseau foarte puțină apă de băut, un corb însetat a găsit un ulcior în care era puțină apă.

The Æsop for Children The Crow & the Pitcher In a spell of dry weather, when the Birds could find very little to drink, a thirsty Crow found a pitcher with a little water in it.

Dar ulciorul era înalt și avea gâtul îngust, așa că, oricât s-a străduit, corbul n-a putut ajunge la apă. Săraca pasăre simțea că va muri de sete.

But the pitcher was high and had a narrow neck, and no matter how he tried, the Crow could not reach the water. The poor thing felt as if he must die of thirst.

Atunci i-a venit o idee. A luat câteva pietricele și le-a aruncat în ulcior, una câte una. Cu fiecare pietricică, apa s-a ridicat puțin câte puțin până când, în cele din urmă, a ajuns destul de sus ca să poată bea.

Then an idea came to him. Picking up some small pebbles, he dropped them into the pitcher one by one. With each pebble the water rose a little higher until at last it was near enough so he could drink.

La nevoie, folosirea istețimii ne poate scoate din încurcătură.

In a pinch a good use of our wits may help us out.
