One hot day, a thirsty crow flew all over the fields 

looking for water. For a long time, he could not find 

any. He felt very weak, almost lost all hope. Suddenly, 

he saw a water jug below the tree. He flew straight 

down to see if there was any water inside. Yes, he 

could see some water inside the jug!

The crow tried to push his head into the jug. 

Sadly, he found that the neck of the jug was 

too narrow. Then he tried to push the jug to 

tilt for the water to flow out but the jug was 

too heavy.

The crow thought hard for a while. Then looking 

around it, he saw some pebbles. he suddenly had 

a good idea. he started picking up the pebbles 

one by one, dropping each into the jug. As more 

and more pebbles filled the jug, the water level 

kept rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow 

to drink. His plan had worked!

Once when a Lion was asleep, a little Mouse 

began running up and down upon him. This 

soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge 

paw upon him and opened his big jaws to 

swallow him.

"Pardon, O King!" cried the little Mouse, 

"Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it 

and I shall never forget your kindness. And 

who knows, but I may be able to do you a 

good turn one of these days?"

The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the 

Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up 

his paw and let him go.

 later a few hunters captured the King and tied 

him to a tree while they went in search of a 

wagon to carry him on.

Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, 

and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion 

was, ran up to him and soon gnawed away the 

ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. "Was 

I not right?" said the little Mouse, very happy 

to help the Lion.
