L'Estrange: A Crow and a Pitcher.

A Crow that was extream thirsty, found a Pitcher with a little Water in't, but it lay so low he could not come at it. He try'd first to break the Pot and then to over-turn it, but it was both too strong, and too heavy for him. He bethought himself however of a Device at last that did his Bus'ness; which was, by dropping a great many little Pebbles into the Water, and raising it that way, till he had it within Reach.

There is a Natural Logick in Animals over and above the Instinct of their Kinds.
