Abstract

en_US This is a well pictured children's book. The story is set around a rural hut in a southern country desert. The animals are suffering from thirst. The crow joins the scene searching herself for water. An ass tips the crow off that there is water in a pot nearby, but that the local animals are not able to get at the water. Chickens mock the crow, and a grasshopper offers advice that the crow should fly into the pot. The crow responds that they would do better to tip the pot. Attempts to break it with a hammer and to tip it with a rope also fail. Once the crow gets his idea, other animals make their own contributions of things to throw in, like the pig with potatoes and a sheep with a shoe. The chickens bring leaves to throw in. The crow and grasshopper make a plan to free the ass from his rope; they do it by getting the grasshopper into the ass' ear, tickling him and forcing him to a quick movement that rips his cord. Once they have raised the water level, the ass brings a saddle to the pot so that the small animals can drink too. Perhaps somewhat unbelievably, all the animals are able to satisfy their thirst from the one pot.
