The Crow and the Pitcher Worksheet - Answers and Completion Rate

Read the story. One hot, dry day, a crow looked for water. He found a pitcher of water. He tried to drink it, but the top was too narrow. He could not fit his beak in the small opening. There was no way to drink the water. He turned one way and then the other. He moved from side to side. His beak was just too big. He was so thirsty. He stopped and rested. As he sat, he noticed a pile of pebbles. He had an idea. Using his large beak, he picked up the small stones one at a time. He dropped each into the pitcher. As they filled the jug, the water began to rise. Hot and tired, he continued placing the tiny rocks into the container. Finally, the water was close to the top. The clever crow drank and drank.
