THE THIRSTY CROW
One hot day, a thirsty crow flew all over the fields looking for water. For a
long time, she could not find any. She
felt very weak, almost giving up hope.
Suddenly, she saw a water jug below her. She flew straight down to see if there was
any water inside. Yes, she could see some water inside the jug!
The crow tried to push her head into the jug. Sadly, she found that the neck of the jug
was too narrow. Then she tried to push the jug down for the water to flow out. She
found that the jug was too heavy.
The crow thought hard for a while. Then looking around her, she saw some pebbles.
She suddenly had a good idea. She started picking up the pebbles one by one,
dropping each into the jug. As more and more pebbles filled the jug, the water level
kept rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow to drink. Her plan had worked!
If you try hard enough, you may soon find an answer to your problem.
CHANQOQ QARG'A
issiq
kunlarning birida, chanqoq qarg'a suv izlash uchun butun dala bo'ylab
uchardi. Uzoq vaqt davomida u hech nima topolmadi. U o'zini juda kuchsiz his qildi.
Deyarli umidini uzgan edi. Tasodifan, pastroqda ko'za ichidagi suvni ko'rdi.
Qarg'a boshini ko'zaga ichiga solishga harakat qildi. Afsuski, u tushundiki ko'zaning
bo'yin qismi (tepasi) judayam ingichka ekan. Keyin u suvni tashqariga to'kish uchun
ko'zani pastga itararishga urindi. U bildi-ki, ko'za juda og'ir ekan.
Qarg'a bir oz muddat astoyidil fikrladi.
Keyin esa atrofni qarab,
bir qancha mayda
toshlarni ko'rdi. Tasodifan, unda ajoyib fikr paydo bo'ldi.
U mayda toshchalarni bitta-bitta terib, har birini ko'za ichiga tashlay boshladi. Ko'za
ichini ko'p-ko'p toshchalar to'ldirgan sayin, suv sathi ham ko'tarilib qolardi. Tez
fursatda, qarg'aning suv ichishi uchun yetarlicha balandlikkacha ko'tarildi.
Uning
rejasi amalga oshdi!
