The Robin and the Vase

A robin was flying south for the winter. During his flight, he became thirsty. Without water he would be too weak to continue He looked for a place to rest near water, but did not see a drop anywhere. Just when the robin was about to abandon all hope, he spotted a vase on a picnic table. He was glad he had not given up trying to find water. The vase was exactly what he needed. "I've seen people put flowers in these containers. Flowers need water. Maybe there's some water left." Said the robin. The robin flew to the vase. There was water inside! He was very grateful that he would be able to drink some water. Then he tried to put his beak inside the vase. The robin's joy quickly turned into despair. He found that his beak was not long enough to reach the water. The vase was too small and narrow. The water was so close yet so very far away. He could see the water, but he could not get close enough to drink it. Somehow, he needed to raise the water. Suddenly, the robin got an idea. The robin looked around the yard and saw a pile of small stones. If he could drop stones into the vase, the water level would rise. The robin flew toward the stones. He used his beak to pick up two small stones. Then he flew back to the vase. After dropping the stones into the vase, he saw that the water level was a little higher. He felt hopeful. The robin flew back and forth between the stones and the vase. Each time, he dropped a few small stones in the vase. Then he watched as the water rose. Finally, the vase was full of stones. The water was at the top! The robin took a long drink of water. He was proud of himself for having such a clever idea.
