The Thirsty Crow 口渴的乌鸦
There once lived a young crow in the countryside. One summer, there was no rain and it was very hot. The crow was very thirsty, but he couldn't find any water."How can I survive?" he thought. "I must have water or I'll die!"
从前，乡下住着一只年轻的小乌鸦。有一年的夏季，天气非常干旱，没有雨水又非常炎热。小乌鸦很口渴，但他找不到水喝。“我要怎么样才能生存下去呢？”他想，“我必须要喝水，否则我会死！”
Just then he saw a farmhouse. Outside the house, there was a vase with some water at the bottom. He tried to drink, but he couldn't reach the water inside.
接着他看到了一个农舍。在农舍外面有一个花瓶，在瓶底里有一点水。小乌鸦尝试去喝，但他够不着瓶子里的水。
The young crow didn't know what to do. He leaned against the vase and cried."Will somebody please help me?" sobbed the crow. He cried and cried, but nobody heard him.
小乌鸦不知道该怎么办。他靠着花瓶哭喊到：“谁来帮帮我？”他哭啊喊啊，可是没有谁能听得到他的求助。
Finally, he dried his eyes and stood up. He tried knocking over the vase, but it was too heavy. Then he tried breaking it, but he wasn't strong enough. Finally, he had a good idea. He began dropping stones into the vase. The water slowly rose to the top. At last, the crow could drink.
后来，他抹掉了泪水，站了起身。他尝试把瓶子推倒，但瓶子太重了。接着他试着把瓶子砸烂，但小乌鸦不够强壮。然后，他想到了一个好办法。他开始往瓶子里扔石头。水逐渐开始上升到瓶口了。最后，小乌鸦有水喝了。
"What wonderful water!" said the crow. "I'm glad that I didn't waste all my time by crying. Thinking is much better than crying!
“这水真好喝！”小乌鸦说，“我真高兴自己没有把时间浪费在哭上，动动脑子思考比只知道哭强多了！”
