Ⅸ. Read and answer. 阅读短文，回答问题。
A crow (乌鸦) was very thirsty and looked for water everywhere. It saw a bottle by the road. There was some water in the bottle, but only a little. The mouth of the bottle was too small for the crow to reach the water with its beak (喙). The crow didn’t give up. It saw many small stones nearby (附近) and had a good idea. It picked up the small stones one by one and put them into the bottle. The water in the bottle rose slowly. Soon the water came up to the mouth of the bottle. The crow drank the water happily.
