The weather had been unusually dry, and the Birds could not find water to drink.
A Crow found a pitcher with some water in it that did not reach the spout, so, alas, the Crow could not reach the water to take a drink.
He was very thirsty, so he could not walk away. Finally, an idea came to him!
He dropped pebbles into the pitcher one by one. With each pebble, the water was displaced to rise a little higher until, at last, the Crow could drink from the pitcher to quench his thirst.
Moral of the Story: Necessity is the mother of invention.

Why We Loved It: We focus on what we desire, and we desire what we need. There’s an old adage, “If you feed the dog, he won’t hunt.” Rewards too fast are not appreciated. Aesop teaches that sometimes human nature must be incentivized by the creation of necessity.
