Çocuklar İçin Ezop Masalları Karga ile Sürahi Kurak bir havada, kuşların içecek çok az şey bulabildiği bir dönemde, susamış bir karga içinde biraz su olan bir sürahi buldu.

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.

Ancak sürahi yüksek ve dar ağızlıydı; karga ne kadar uğraşırsa uğraşsın suya ulaşamadı. Zavallı hayvan susuzluktan öleceğini hissetti.

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.

Derken aklına bir fikir geldi. Birkaç küçük çakıl taşı alıp bunları tek tek sürahinin içine attı. Her çakıl taşıyla su biraz daha yükseldi ve sonunda içebileceği kadar yakına geldi.

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.

Zor durumlarda zekâmızı iyi kullanmak bizi kurtarabilir.

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