A crow had been flying all day, 一只乌鸦飞了一整天,

and she was dying of thirst. 渴得要命。

At last, she found a tall jug in a garden. 终于,她在花园里发现了一个高高的水罐。

There was a little water at the bottom, 水罐底部有一点水,

but her beak couldn't reach it. 但她的嘴根本够不着。

She pushed the jug, but it was too heavy to knock over. 她推了推水罐,可水罐太重了,根本推不倒。

She was ready to give up. 她都打算放弃了。

Then she had an idea. 这时,她突然有了主意。

She picked up a small stone and dropped it into the jug. 她叼起一颗小石子,扔进了水罐里。

Then another. 接着又是一颗。

And another. 然后又是一颗。

With every stone, the water rose a little higher. 每扔进一颗石子,水面就往上升一点。

Finally, it was high enough, and she drank and drank. 终于,水升得足够高了,她痛痛快快地喝了个够。

When a problem looks too big, 当问题看起来太难解决时,

try solving it one small stone at a time. 不妨试着像扔小石子一样,一点一点去攻克。
