FAB. CCXXXIX.

A _Crow_ and a _Pitcher_.

A _Crow_ that was Extream Thirsty, found a _Pitcher_ with a Little Water

in’t, but it lay so Low he could not come at it. He try’d first to Break

the Pot, and then to Over-turn it, but it was both too Strong, and too

Heavy for him. He Bethought Himself however of a Device at last that did

his Bus’ness; which was, by Dropping a great many Little Pebbles into the

Water, and Raising it That Way, till he had it within Reach.

The MORAL.

_There is a Natural Logick in Animals, over and above the Instinct of

their Kinds._
