中英文故事The Crow And The Jug《乌鸦喝水》

The Crow And The Jug 《乌鸦喝水》 A crow, wandering the trees, came upon a big old jug. 一只乌鸦，游荡在树林间， 她看到了一个大大的瓶子。 She peeped inside and saw there was some water in it, but try as she might she could not get her head down into the jug far enough to reach the water. 她看到瓶子里面有水， 但是不论她怎么努力将头努力伸到瓶子里面， 她还是够不到瓶底的水。 As the crow knew very well that water is scarce, she could not just give up on it, and she hit on a clever plan. 她知道这瓶中的水来之不易， 不能就这么放弃， 所以她想出了一个聪明的解决方法。 Using her beak, she started picking up pebbles from the ground all around and dropping them into the jug. 她用她的喙叼起小石子， 然后把小石子一粒一粒的放进瓶子里。 Each pebble that dropped into the jug made the water rise just a tiny bit, and bye-and-bye, the level rose high enough for her to quench her thirst. 每一粒小石子落到瓶底， 瓶中的水就会往上升一些， 最终乌鸦喝到了瓶子里的水。
