《伊索寓言》是世界上最古老的寓言集，它由几百个篇幅短小、形式不拘的寓言故事组成，由古希腊人伊索以及之后其他人共同编著和收集整理而成。《伊索寓言》大多是动物故事，以动物为喻，教人处世和做人的道理，出现最多的是狐狸、狮子、驴、狼、羊、鸟儿等，以及猎人和农夫。在这些故事中，为了阐释种种道理，各种动物和人扮演着善恶不同的角色。例如，狐狸有时候是聪明的；而有时候则是狡猾、轻诺、背信弃义的。借助这些活灵活现的动物的一言一行，传达出一些颇具哲理的人生观和生活观。《伊索寓言》是世界上对人类文明进程影响最大和最深远的寓言故事集，这些故事闪耀着智慧的光芒，蕴涵着深刻的寓意。而伊索编著的《乌鸦喝水(插图中文导读英文版)》正是其中的一部。
