\-\A
Crow, half-dead#PPA03 {with
thirst,} came upon a Pitcher [RAJFwhich
had once been full {of water;}]
\C\but [LAVFwhen
the Crow put its beak {into the mouth} {of the Pitcher}]
he found [RNDOthat only very little water
was left=PV {in it,}]
and [RNDOthat he could not reach far enough
down to get*INFAV04 {at
it.}] \-\He
tried, \C\and he tried, but {at
last} had to give up=CV {in
despair.} \-\Then a thought came {to
him,} \C\and he took a pebble and dropped=CV
it {into the Pitcher.} \-\Then
he took another pebble and dropped=CV it {into
the Pitcher.} \-\Then he took
another pebble and dropped=CV that {into
the Pitcher.} \-\{At
last,} {at last,} he saw the water mount*INFDO06
up {near him,} \C\and
{after casting*GerOP06
in a few more pebbles} he was able to quench*INFAV04
his thirst and save*INFAV04 his life.
\-\Little
{by little} does the trick.
