The Caracaras and the Carafe
There were once three Caracaras; who sought water of a carafe.
The first thought to use it to bathe a big giraffe,
but found the vessel very small for indeed the giraffe was so very tall.
The second thought to use the water to brew a giant wild game stew,
but alas there was not enough; so with this task he was through~
the third bird was dying of thirst and sought of but three drops…
Alas, the water in the carafe had evaporated holding less than one mere drop…
The bird became distraught and sucked upon some rocks.
However, she held the carafe for it began to rain and
she would soon gain her fill of more than a mere drop.
Moral: A little patience goes a long way when one works with what you’ve got ;-)
