The Clever Crow and the Thirsty Lesson

Kavi the clever crow uses an old Panchatantra tale to quench his thirst on a hot day. With a few pebbles and some quick thinking, he proves that wisdom wins.

The Clever Crow and the Thirsty Lesson

On a hot summer day in the dry fields of India, a thirsty crow named Kavi searched high and low for water. He spotted a pot near a farmhouse, but the water inside was too low to reach.

Kavi thought hard. He remembered the stories his grandmother told him from the Panchatantra—tales where wisdom won over strength.

"Think, Kavi, think!" he told himself.

He spotted some pebbles nearby. One by one, he dropped them into the pot. Slowly, the water rose. With a happy caw, Kavi took a refreshing drink.

Just then, a curious sparrow asked, “How did you know that would work?” Kavi smiled. “A wise bird always remembers a good story.”

Lesson: Intelligence and patience can solve even the trickiest problems.
