The Cracked Water Pot

Once there lived a water bearer in a small village. The water bearer had two large pots which he hung on the ends of a pole. He used to carry the pole to his master’s house every day.

One of the two pots had a crack in it, which is why the bearer delivered only one and a half pot of water. The perfect pot was proud of himself and mocked the cracked pot.

One day, the cracked pot apologized to the bearer for being imperfect. But the master smiled and said that he had planted flowers on the cracked pot’s side of the way. Unknowingly, the cracked pot was watering them and because of this, the bearer was able to pick out beautiful flowers for his master’s home.

Now, the cracked pot didn’t feel ashamed of his imperfection anymore.

Moral: Never be ashamed of your imperfections. Many times, these imperfections are a blessing in disguise.
