When he arrived, he peered inside the pitcher and saw a little water at the bottom. The crow tried to reach it, but his beak couldn't touch the water. He thought for a moment and then had a brilliant idea. The clever crow noticed some pebbles scattered around the garden. 

He began picking up the pebbles one by one and dropping them into the pitcher. With each pebble, the water level rose a little higher. Finally, after dropping enough pebbles, the water level rose to the top! The crow happily drank the cool water, quenching his thirst. 

 The thirsty crow learned that with a little creativity and determination, he could overcome any challenge. He flew away, grateful for the water and his cleverness, reminding everyone that perseverance and quick thinking can lead to success.
