Once upon a time there was a water-bearer
in India who had two large pots, each hung on each
end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One
of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot
was perfect and always delivered a full portion of
water at the end of the long walk from the stream
to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only
half full. After two years of what it perceived to be a
bitter failure, the poor cracked pot spoke to the
water-bearer one day by the stream. “ I am
ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you.”
“Why?” asked the water-bearer. “What are you
ashamed of?” “I have been able to deliver only half
my load becaues thsi crack in my side causes water
to leak out all the way back to your master’s house.
Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work
and you don’t get full value from your efforts,” the
pot said. The water-bearer felt sorry for the old
cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we
return to the master’s house, I want you to notice
the beautiful flowers along the path.”
The bearer said to the pot. “Did you notice
that there were flowers only on your side of your
path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s
because of your flaw. And I took advantage of it. I
planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and
every day while walking back from the stream,
you’ve watered them. For two years I have been
able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my
master’s table. Without you being just the way you
are, he would not have this beauty to grace his
house.”
