THE CROW.
THE SPARROW.

[_The_ CROW _and the_ SPARROW _meet at a spring._]

SPARROW. Ah me, the spring is dry!

CROW. All the springs are dry!

SPARROW. There may be water in the brook.

CROW. No, the brook is dry.

SPARROW. What shall we do?

CROW. There may be water in this pitcher. I will see. Aha! Here is
water! Come and drink.

SPARROW. I cannot reach it. It is too low.

CROW. Stretch your neck!
