Ron dramatically reads Aesop's fable "The Crow and the Pitcher," delivering the timeless lesson that persistence and incremental progress can solve seemingly impossible problems.

• Ron opens with his trademark dry humor, warning listeners that short stories can still be boring
• The thirsty crow encounters a pitcher with water too low to reach
• After initial despair, the crow cleverly drops pebbles one by one to raise the water level
• The repetitive nature of the story emphasizes the methodical approach needed for success
• The moral "Little by little does the trick" reinforces the value of persistence and incremental progress

Speaker 1:

Hello, are you tired? You will be. This is Ron Reads, and Ron is reading Aesop's Fables. Keep this in mind Just because a story is short, that doesn't mean it's not boring. Today we're reading the Crow and the Pitcher. I repeat, no, I don't. Let's begin. Let's begin.

Speaker 1:

Found that only very little water was left in it and that he couldn't reach down far enough to get it. Get at it. He tried and he tried, but at last had to give up in despair. Then a thought came to him and he took a pebble and dropped it into the pitcher. And then he took another pebble and dropped it into the pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the pitcher. At last, at last, he saw the water mount up near him and, after casting in a few more pebbles, he was able to quench his thirst and save his life. Little by little does the trick.
