　　一只快渴死的乌鸦,远远地看见一只水壶,就高兴地飞了过去,但是当他飞到的时候发现壶里的水浅得怎么用力弯腰伸颈也够不着,于是他试着把水壶打破,又试着把他推倒.但是力量不足,都做不到,最后看见近边有许多小石子,他一个个地把很多石子丢进了水壶,这样使水上升到壶口,就解了渴.

　　在体力做不到的时候,技巧和耐心会帮助人成功,需要是发明之母.

　　猴子捞月

　　一天,一个小猴子在井边玩耍.他往井中看去,突然大叫起来“哦,天啊.月亮掉进井里了”一个更老的猴子跑了过来,瞥了一眼,说道“我的天,月亮确实在水中啊!”然后一个跑勤的猴子跑了过来.他也对井中的月亮吃惊不已,大叫道“月亮在井中”一群猴子跑了过来.他们也看着井中的月亮大叫道"月亮确实掉进井中了.来啊,我们把它捞起来“然后,最老的猴子倒挂在树上,用腿钩住树枝,拉着另一个猴子的腿.然后所有的猴子都跟着这么做.他们就这样一个接一个地慢慢下到井底.正当他们要够到月亮的时候,那个最老的猴子举起他的手,正巧看到月亮在空中.他兴奋地大叫”别傻了,月亮还在天上呢“
