What Is The Thirsty Crow Story?

For those unfamiliar with the tale, the "Thirsty Crow" is a popular fable that teaches the importance of resourcefulness and perseverance. In the story, a crow encounters a pitcher with water too low for it to reach. Undeterred, the crow drops pebbles into the pitcher, causing the water level to rise, allowing it to drink. This simple-yet-profound story is often told to children to inspire creativity and problem-solving.
