ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Thirsty Crow | Aesop’s Fables | PINKFONG Story Time for Children
Once upon a time, on a very hot day, a crow was feeling very thirsty. He wanted to find some water to drink. He looked everywhere but couldn’t find any water.
The crow said, “Oh, I’m so thirsty! Where can I find some water?” He kept searching and searching until he finally found a bottle with a little bit of water at the bottom.
The crow was happy and said, “Finally, some water!” But when he tried to drink, he couldn’t reach the water with his beak. The water was too low.
The crow thought hard and came up with a smart idea. “Ah, yes! I know what to do!” he said.
The crow started picking up small stones, called pebbles, and dropped them into the bottle one by one. As he did this, the water level in the bottle began to rise.
Finally, the water was high enough for the crow to drink. “Oh, finally some water!” he said happily.
Thanks to his clever idea, the thirsty crow was able to drink the water and wasn’t thirsty anymore.
And that’s how the smart crow solved his problem and quenched his thirst!
Experiment with Water and Pebbles: Gather a clear plastic cup, some small pebbles, and water. Fill the cup with a small amount of water, just like in the story. Ask the children to predict what will happen if they add pebbles to the cup. Let them drop pebbles into the cup one by one and observe how the water level rises. Discuss why this happens and how it relates to the crow’s clever idea.
Story Reenactment: Encourage the children to act out the story of “The Thirsty Crow.” Assign roles such as the crow, the narrator, and even the pebbles. Use props like a bottle and small stones. This activity helps children understand the sequence of events and the problem-solving process the crow used.
Think and Share: Ask the children to think of a time when they solved a problem by using a clever idea, just like the crow. Encourage them to share their stories with the class. This activity helps children connect the story to their own experiences and understand the importance of creativity and problem-solving in everyday life.

One hot day, a thirsty crow was looking for some water to drink. He searched everywhere but couldn’t find any.
“Oh, I’m so thirsty! Where can I find some water?”
After searching, the crow finally found a bottle with some water in it.
“Finally, some water!” The crow was excited and couldn’t wait to drink.
But when he put his beak into the bottle, he realized he couldn’t reach the water. There was only a little bit at the bottom.
“Oh, even though I found water, I still can’t drink it.”
The thirsty crow thought for a moment and came up with a brilliant idea.
“Ah, yes! That’s it! I’m going to drink this water once and for all.”
The thirsty crow picked up pebbles and dropped them into the bottle, one by one. The water inside the bottle began to rise until finally, he could drink.
“Oh, finally some water!”
And so, the thirsty crow wasn’t thirsty anymore.
