ReplyDeleteWhat do you think is the moral of the story?
When I was a boy we had a crow as a pet. Bill was by far the smartest animal I ever knew - although I doubt that even he was bright enough to figure out that dropping pebbles into a jar would make the water accessible.
ReplyDeleteNonetheless i have always enjoyed Aesop's fables - including this one.
The crow's problem is that he is thirsty and want some water to drink.He tried to break the pitcher,he tried to make it fall but the pitcher is very heavy.When he saw the pebbles he got an idea to put lot of pebbles in the pitcher and when water came up he drank how much he wished.The moral of the story is to try your best.One day I should go to my friend's party my mom went to job I dressed myself and I tried to braid my hair.

Response to Dr. Bowman,
ReplyDeleteIt is always a pleasure to hear from you. I am glad you enjoyed this story!
The crows problem in the begining was that he didn't have anything to drink. One thing the crow tried was to tip it over with his chess. The crow finally got water by just using a pebble to make the water rise. The moral of the story, I think is never give up because in the story it said ''The crow thought to give up but he didn't''.No, I haven't been in a problem, but I think I would use my best thinking.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of the story the crow couldn’t find water. He saw a pitch of water up on a tree. Then he said ‘’I know, I can use my beak’.’ Some of the things He to do is try to use his beak but it didn’t work. The crow started to give up when he saw some pebbles. The crow finally got the water by putting the pebble in the pitch of water. Then he got a sip of water. The moral of the story is to keep trying. Once my ds card got lost I looked in the close I FOUND IT!

ReplyDeleteThe crow's problem at the beginning of the story
was that he found a pitcher with water but he couldn't reach it.
First he tried his beak to reach the water and then he tried to break the pitcher.Later he tried to push the pitcher with his chest.
Finally the crow got to drink the water by dropping pebbles inside the pitcher.
The moral of the story is that try and try but don't give up.
A couple of weeks back I was looking for my DSi but I haven't found it. Finally I found it in my room where my penguin project was.
Response to Atharva,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found your DSi and did not give up!
What is your penguin project?
Saleehia wrote....The crow's problem was that he couldn't get any water from the pitcher because his neck was not long enough to reach the water. The crow tried to push the pitcher over on to it's side; the crow tried to drink the water from a different side. The crow finally got adrink of water because he put pebble's into the water. The moral of the story is to never give up without a fight. One time when Serria and I couldn't find our sister Stephani,we started to look for her because we were playing this game made up by me named The hunt. Stephani was trying to hide from me and Serria. So,me and Serria kept looking for Stephani. We serched the whole house,looking for our sister all the while. We went to our mother's room and asked her if she has seen Stephani. She told us no. When we got out of the room,we started to look for Stephani again. This time we looked in Serria's room. We looked under her stack of pillow's. We finally found Stephani.

ReplyDeleteIt hadn't rained for a lot of time. The crow's problem was that he needed water. He was very thirsty. First, he tried to strech his neck into the pitcher. That didn't work. Next, he tried to break the pitcher with his beak. That didn't work either. Then the crow started thinking. Finally, he got an idea. He found pebbles and droped the into the pitcher. The water started to rise up. The crow kept on putting more pebbles into the pitcher. The water raised high enough for the crow to drink. He drank all the water that he wanted. The moral of the story was that you keep trying and trying until you get your goal.
I lost my fall pink jacket. I looked everywhere for it (except my chair). After 2 months, I looked on my chair and theere it was, my pink jacket.
Response to Saleehia,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you did not give up and finally found Stephani!
Response to Aarushi,
ReplyDeleteWow, Aarushi! How did you feel when you found your jacket after 2 months?
The problem in the beggining was that the crow had no water. Finally the crow found a pitcher and tried to drink from it but it was to low so one of the things the crow tried to do was tip it over with his chest but it failed and the crow didn`t give up. He finally got to drink the water by dropping pebbles into the pitcher to make the water rise. The moral of this story was to never give up,never (perserverance).
ReplyDeleteThe moral of the story is keep searching i till you find it.One time I lost my xbox remote I looked every where and it was under my bed I looked there beacuse I keep everthing under my bed.
ReplyDeleteThe crow's problem was that he was very thirsty and wanted a drink of water.When the crow saw a pitcher filled of water he first tried to drink with his beak he could not get it then he moved to the other side he still couldn't reach it.Next, he said my body is strong I could tip the pitcher down, but he couldn't. Then the crow waited for a minute and thought about a way to get the water.Finally he saw pebbles next to the pitcher. He took one of the pebbles and dropped it in. He could see the water rising up!!!!! At last he could drink the water. The moral of the story is to never give up and keep on trying.One day in the summer I was building Lego's then I noticed that I was missing my important piece I looked everywhere but cannot find it,I checked the box and it was in there!!!!!!!!

Hi my name is Revanth
ReplyDeleteThe problem in the beginning of the story is that the old crow had no water.Then he saw a pitcher with water in it. Then he tried reaching the water with it"s neck, but his neck was to short. Then the crow said "i'm strong" and tried pushing it,but it was too heavy. The crow finally got water by putting pebbles into the pitcher , and the water rose up , and the crow finally drank water.The moral of the story is to always try your best. The problem I had was in summer I was going to on the t.v , then I couldn't find the t.v remote .I looked everywhere. Then finally I found it on the refrigerator .That's how I solved my problem.:]

ReplyDeleteIn the beginning the crows problem was that he needed to get some water because he was very thirsty and it hasn't rained in weeks. The crow tried to streach his neck into the pitcher, then he tried to peck it with his beack. The crow said "I must have that water." Then thought and he thought and he thought. But just then he saw a few pebbles. The crow flew down and put them in the pitcher one by one. The water kept rising and rising. Then then the water came as high and he can reach his beack in.
One day I was at my house and I wanted to play with my Ds. But I couldn't find my Ds games. So I looked in the last place I saw it, but it wasn't there. So I just played the bilt in game, called pictOchat.A week later,my cosin named Anthony came to my house and retuned the Ds games. I was so happy! And that's how I found my Ds games!

Hi! This is Aarushi again.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so good! ;]
The crow's problem was that he could'nt find water and that he was so thirsty. He tried everything to get the water out of the pitcher but he could'nt get the water out of the pitcher. He pushed it, poked it and prodded it. Finally, the crow put pebbles 1 by 1 into the pitcher. the water rose so high that the crow could reach it! the crow was really happy.he drank a lot of water and soon had his fill. The moral of the story is that you have to never give up and keep trying until you succeed. My problem was that I could not find my toy.I looked everywhere. Then,I found my toy in my
ReplyDeletedrawer. I put the toy in my box for
safekeeping.

The problem is the crow is thirsty but it didn’t rain for weeks. The crow saw a pitcher and it was filled with water. He tried to drink it but he couldn’t. He tuned to the other side but he still didn’t reach it. He tried to break the pitch but it didn’t work. He saw pebbles and he threw it in the pitcher and it rose up and he finely got a drink. The moral of the story is to never give up.

ReplyDeletetried to tip it but he couldn't, so he walked till he had an idea.Later on he had an idea to put pebbels untill he could drink so that what he did. The moral of the story is to never give up. I didn't give up looking for my handcuffs and I found them in my basement.

ReplyDeleteThe crow's problem was,he was so thirsty, he could not push the pitcher.
The crow tried to solve the problem by,streching his neck above the pitcher.He gave the pitcher a hard thump.It did not crack.
To solve the problem,the crow dropped pepples into the pitcher until the water started to rise.
The moral of the story is, never give up. Try your hardest to solve your problems.
Once i had a problem with riding my bike.I kept trying and falling until finally, i was able to keep both feet on the peddle and ride along with my sister.

ReplyDeleteThere was no water for weeks. The crow found water in a picture but could not get it.
The crow tried to break it but he could not. Then he tried to tip it over and it did not work.
The crow looked at some rocks and he picked it up with his bill and he put it in the water till the water grew and he drank as much as he wished and then he flew away.
The moral of the story the crow tried to get the water.
I can't remember a time I thought a problem and solved it.
THE PROBLEM IN THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY IS THAT THE CROW CAN’T DRINK WATER FROM THE PITCHER. The crow tried to tip it but it didn’t work. It tried to break it, but it did not work either. Finally it spotted some pebbles and put some pebbles inside the pitcher. The moral of the story is never give up
ReplyDeleteThe crow's problem in the beggning of the story is that he can't get the water.
ReplyDeleteThe crow tried to break the pot with his beak but it did not break.
But at the end he drops pebbles into the pitcher and drinks water.
The moral of the story is to never give up.
I have never had a big problem.
The crow's problem in the begging was it hadn't rained in weeks so the crow was very thirsty and the pond and the lake were dry.The crow tried to bake the pitcher by thumping on it,it didn't work, then he tipped the pitcher with his chest and it still didn't work,then he picked up pebbles with his bill,one after another and through them in the pitcher.The water started to rise high that he could reach it.The moral of the story is to never give up.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 4 I got lost with my cousin at Disneyland I saw a security and I told them that we are lost so they paged my parents to come and pick us up they found us safe and that was my best thinking.
