Education is not the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire.
The crow was very happy. He flew to the bottle in a hurry.However, when he came near, he found that the water in the bottle was too shallow to reach.The crow tried adgain and agan, but failed.The crow stared at the water in the bottle, tired and thirsty.“What can I do?” The crow was very worried.
乌鸦急急敛翅俯冲，双爪刚触到瓶身便迫不及待地探头。可那微光粼粼的水面偏生在喙尖半寸之下，任它如何倾斜瓶身，清泉始终可望不可即。砂砾在它焦躁的爪下簌簌滚动，蝉鸣声混着刺目的阳光，将这份焦渴酿成灼心的苦酒。
It occurred to him that if he put some stones in the bottle, the water would rise.The crow came with many small stones and carefully dropped them into the bottle one by one. The water in the bottle gradually rose.After a while, the crow succeeded in drinking the water.
正当它颓然收翅之际，一粒石子坠入瓶中激起清脆回响。这声响如晨钟暮鼓，惊醒了困顿的思绪。乌鸦灵光乍现，振翅掠过干涸的河床，衔来星子般的碎石。每粒石子入水都漾起希望的涟漪，水面如同被无形的手托举着，一寸寸亲吻它风尘仆仆的喙尖。
