A water bearer in a village had two pots.
One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other was perfect.
Every day, the water bearer carried both pots to fetch water, By the time he reached home, the cracked pot had lost half of its water. the cracked pot felt ashamed and said,
“I am sorry. Because of my flaw, I waste your effort.”
The water bearer smiled and said,
“Did you notice the flowers along the path on your side?”
The pot looked carefully and saw beautiful flowers.
The man continued,“I planted those flowers on your side of the path.
Every day, you watered them without knowing it.
Because of you, I could enjoy these beautiful flowers. |
