To the Teacher
The Thirsty Crow
Oh what a hot day it is! And not a drop of water in sight! said a thirsty
crow. It flew from place to place looking for some water. But all the lakes and rivers
had dried up and there was no sign ofm rain.
Ill surely die of thirst if I dont find some water, said the crow.
As it searched here and there in worry, it spotted a large container in front of
the deserted house. It perched on it and saw that there was some water in it, but
at the bottom, beyond its reach.
It thought hard and soon an idea came to his mind. There were many pebbles lying
nearby. It picked up the pebbles one by one, and dropped them into the container.
Slowly the water level started rising. The crow kept at it, never giving up. Soon the
water level was high enough for it to reach and it was able to quench its thirst.

Polly and the Snail

Polly is a garden snail. She lives in a beautiful garden near a pond. She is
one of the many snails in the garden. She slides and plays with her snail friends
every day.

Polly and her friends eat the leaves of the vegetables in the garden. They
are always hungry. They like to know the different tastes of leaves of the
healthy and green vegetables there.
Polly goes around and takes small bites of each of the leaves every day .If
she likes the taste of the leaf, she eats it immediately. Soon, all of the
vegetables had holes in their leaves.
One day, Farmer Jane went to visit his garden. He looked at the vegetables
and gave a loud cry. Who did this to my beautiful vegetables? Polly saw
Farmer Jane. She looked around for somewhere to hide. She buried herself
under a brown leaf and hid inside her shell.
Farmer Jane checked his garden and saw the many snails on it. He picked
them one by one and placed the snails in a plastic bag. He did not find Polly
who was hiding in her shell. Then, Farmer Jane went away.
Later that day, the farmer went back with a white duck. He happily left the
duck in the garden. Polly saw the white duck. The white duck saw Polly, too.
