THE WOMAN AND THE
TWO POTS
Told by Kamalatmika
Introduce yourself and tell the story name -
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, one with a
crack and the other perfect. The cracked pot only delivered
half of the water, causing daily leaks from the stream to the
house. The perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments,
while the cracked pot was ashamed of its imperfection. After
two years of bitter failure, the cracked pot confessed to the
woman by the stream, blaming the crack for leaking water
back to the house. The old woman explained that she planted
flower seeds on the cracked pot's side, and every day, the pot
watered them, allowing the cracked pot to bring beautiful
flowers to her home.
The moral of the story is that you are perfect just the way you are
