"No, no, if the bottle is broken, the water will run away." The crow threw away the pebble and thought, "if you can make the water rise to the mouth of the bottle,"The crow fiddled with the pebble beside the bottle, and suddenly came up with a good idea: put some stones in the bottle, and the water will rise.
