The Crow and The Pitcher (Joe Bloggs)

The Crow and The Pitcher (Joe Bloggs)

Meet a very clever crow who finds a creative way to quench his thirst. When he encounters a pitcher with water too low to reach, he doesn’t give up and instead uses small stones to solve the problem. This story is a brilliant example of persistence and “thinking outside the box.” Young readers will be inspired by the crow’s intelligence and problem-solving skills. It is an ideal short story for building critical thinking and English reading skills.
