The Crow and the Pitcher (new)

One day, two crows in the forest were thirsty. They flew together tiredly in the sky in order to look for some water. Suddenly, one of the two crows shouted with excitement, “I find water! I find water! There is a bottle filled with water under us! Do you see it?” The two crows went down happily. But the fact made them disappointed - there was only a little water in that bottle! In a flash, the greedy crow had an idea and said, “what about having a competition? The one who first drinks the water can  get all of the water.” The other crow agreed. The greedy crow said to himself, “Silly crow! The water is going to belong to me!” Then he thought of the story ‘the Crow and the Pitcher’ and he acted like the crow in the story. However, when he took the stones to the bottle, he couldn’t believe his eyes! The other crow just used his mouth and drank the water easily. The bottle was wide enough for even the mouths of two crows! He was extremely irritated and regretful. Finally, the other crow flew back home with pleasure. And the greedy crow died of thirst.
