Section E
Read the passage and answer the questions that followed: One day, it was very hot. A crow was very thirst. He flew here and there looking for water. But he did not get water from anywhere. At last he saw a pot with water in a thick bush. He went close to the pot. The crow saw that the water in the pot was very little. The crow tried to reach the water with its beak but he was not able to do so. He then tried to push the pot down for the water to flow out but the pot was too heavy for him. The crow looked around. He saw some little stones. After a little thought, the crow came up with an idea. He picked up a few stones one at a time and dropped them into the pot. As he dropped the stones into the pot, the water came up. Soon it was high enough for him to drink. He happily drank the water and flew away.
