Stories hold a special part in our life. There are different stories that I heard during my childhood. One story which came in my mind, vividly, is about the thirsty crow. It was a story that told by my sister during a bad time during my childhood. The story was about a crow who searched for water on a hot day. He couldn’t find water anywhere as it is in the summer. The crow was very dry and he came near a pot with a little water in it. But it was unable to drain from it. So he collected pebbles from nearby area and dropped in it. Therefore the water level increased and he was able to drain from it. Finally he flew away happily. The moral of the story is that when there is a will, there is a way. With our own hard work and dedication, every struggle can be overcome. That story was remained in my mind during my struggles in our life. I remember about it till now because of its moral. Whenever I faced struggles or any problem, I realised that if we work hard or if we try for it without give up, we can be able to succeed in it. I found it a very captivating and memorable moment and it makes me intriguing to the childhood.
