our body strong, fit and flexible, to play football is a
good exercise and good for health. It needs a spacious

On a very hot and sunny day, a thirsty crow was flying in search of water. Due to the hot weather, most of
the ponds had dried up. Suddenly, he saw a vessel on the ground. When he flew towards it, he saw there was
very little water at the bottom of the vessel. While thinking about how he could drink that water, he saw
little pebbles lying around. He started dropping them one by one into the vessel. After some time, the water
level rose. The thirsty crow quenched its thirst and flew away happily.
