Pot with a crack

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole that he carried across his neck. One amongst the pots had a crack in it, whereas the opposite pot was good and continuously delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full 2 years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering just one and a half pots packed with water to his house. 

Of course, the perfect pot was happy with its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. However the poor cracked pot was shamed of its own state and miserable that it had been ready to accomplish solely half what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it looked as if it would be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer at some point by the stream. "I am shamed of myself, and that I wish to apologize to you. I actually have been ready to deliver solely half my load as a result of this crack in my aspect causes water to break all the manner back to your house. Because to my flaws, you have got to try to to all of this work, and you do not get full price from your efforts," the pot aforesaid.

The bearer aforesaid to the pot, "Did you notice that there have been flowers on your side of the path however not on the opposite pot's side? That is as a result of I actually have continuously identified regarding your flaw, and that I planted flower seeds on your aspect of the path. Everyday day while we walk back, you have wattered them. For 2 years, I have been able to pick there beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
