81. One possible version:
The Crow and the Pitcher
It was a hot day. A crow felt very thirsty. He looked for water everywhere. Finally, he found a pitcher. But there wasn’t much water in it. His beak couldn’t reach the water. He was very disappointed.
When he wanted to give up, he came up with a good idea. He picked up a small pebble and dropped it into the pitcher. Then he took another and dropped it into the pitcher again. Little by little, the water rose and rose, and he was able to drink the water.
How clever the crow was! We should learn from the crow. When we meet with difficulties, we should try to solve them instead of giving up.
