The Thirsty Crow Story for Kids | Moral Story

The Thirsty Crow – Moral Story

One hot summer day, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The land was dry, and there was very little water left anywhere. On this day, a small black crow was flying from place to place in search of water. He was very thirsty and weak because he had not found even a single drop of water since morning.

This is the famous story of The Thirsty Crow, which teaches children the value of intelligence and never giving up.

The crow flew over fields, houses, and gardens. He looked everywhere — on tree branches, near ponds, and beside roads — but there was no water. The heat was strong, and his throat felt dry.

After flying for a long time, the crow became tired.

“If I don’t find water soon, I won’t survive,” he thought sadly.

Still, he did not lose hope.

Suddenly, the crow saw a pot near a house. Feeling hopeful, he flew down quickly and peeped inside the pot.

There was some water at the bottom, but it was very low. The crow tried to put his beak inside, but he could not reach the water.

The crow felt disappointed.

“There is water, but I cannot drink it,” he said.

The crow did not give up. He looked around carefully and noticed small stones lying on the ground near the pot.

Suddenly, he got a clever idea.

“If I drop these stones into the pot, the water level might rise,” he thought.

The crow picked up one small stone in his beak and dropped it into the pot. Then he picked another stone and dropped it inside.

Plop… plop… plop…

Slowly, the water level began to rise. The crow continued his work patiently. It was not easy, but he did not stop.



After dropping many stones, the water finally came near the top of the pot. 
The crow happily drank the water and felt refreshed. His thirst was gone, and he felt strong again.

“Hard work and intelligence always bring success,” the crow thought.

He spread his wings and flew away happily into the sky.



Moral of the Story

Where there is a will, there is a way.
Intelligence is more powerful than strength.

The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter - A Traditional Zulu Story The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter - A Traditional Zulu Story Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a wide and sunny land filled with tall grass, green trees, and many wild animals. In this beautiful land lived a hunter. But this hunter was not like the brave and hardworking hunters in old stories. He was very lazy. Every day, the hunter sat under the shade of a big tree. The tree was old and strong, and its leaves were wide and cool. The hunter liked to sleep there all day. He did not like to walk, run, or hunt. He did not like to use his bow and arrow. Most of all, he did not like to work hard. The hunter was always hungry. His stomach growled all the time. But instead of getting up to find food, he just sat and dreamed. “Oh, I wish food would come to me by itself,” he said again and again. “I do not want to chase animals. I do not want to work. I want an easy life.” One hot afternoon, as the hunter sat under his tr...

The Tortoise, the Dog, and the Farmer: Learning Not to Steal - A Nigerian Folk Tale The Tortoise, the Dog, and the Farmer: Learning Not to Steal Once upon a time, in the animal kingdom of Nigeria, there lived many animals who shared the same land, forests, and villages. They lived together happily, helping one another and enjoying the gifts of nature. But one year, something very bad happened. There was a long dry season. The rain did not fall for many months.

The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter - A Traditional Zulu Story The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter Long, long ago, when the world was still learning how to grow, there was a wide land full of grass, trees, and animals. In this land lived a man who was known by everyone as   the lazy hunter . He had strong arms and sharp eyes, but he did not like to use them. Instead of hunting like other people in his village, he spent most of his days lying on the soft ground under a big bowbob tree. The bowbob tree gave cool shade, and the hunter loved to sleep there. He would stretch his legs, close his eyes, and dream about food. His stomach was often empty, but he did not want to walk far or work hard. “Oh, how I wish food could come to me,” the hunter said one afternoon. “Why should I run and hunt when my body feels so tired?” Not far from the tree, a group of springbok were eating grass in the open field. The hunter watched them with hungry eyes, but he did not move. He only sighed and ...
