The Cracked Pot and The Water Bearer Story

Once there lived a poor man in a village. It was working as a water bearer. He had two large pots to carry to his master's house every day.  The water bearer hung on the ends of a pole these pots to carry it.

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.
