NARRATOR
One bright summer day, Crow was cruising around the neighbourhood searching for something to drink to sooth his parched throat. CROW Oh man, It's hot! I'm so thirsty, I can't even cac-caa-caw! (Caw catches in his throat) Aha! What's that down there? At last, a pitcher of water! NARRATOR But when he lands beside the pitcher, poor, thirsty Crow discovers that there is only a small puddle of water at the bottom. CROW (Grunts as he tries to get his beak into the opening of the pitcher) Fooey! My beak is too big to get to the bottom. The pitcher is way too narrow! Bah! Who would make a pitcher like that? A bird could die of thirst! NARRATOR Does Crow give up hope? No! He's tenacious and clever. He keeps on trying. CROW Hmmm .... what to do, what do do. (Paces back and forth) Aha! I have a good idea! (Flits away and returns with pebbles) NARRATOR One after the other, Crow drops many pebbles into the pitcher. CROW One, two, three ... NARRATOR Plop, plop, plop. With each pebble, the water rises little by little in the pitcher. Soon the water is within reach of Crow's anxious beak. CROW What a good idea if I do say so myself! I can drink as much as I want! Ah! It's so refreshing! Now I can caw again. (Flies away cawing loudly) NARRATOR |
