The Cracked Water Pot

On the trip, water slowly spilled from the cracked pot. So when it arrived at the house, it was only half full.

而另外一只罐子却有个裂缝，一路上水会慢慢从缝隙里露出来，所以当它到了主人家里时，只剩下了半罐水。

But the other pot had a crack in it. On the trip, water slowly spilled from the cracked pot. So when it arrived at the house, it was only half full.

而另外一只罐子却有个裂缝，一路上水会慢慢从缝隙里露出来，所以当它到了主人家里时，只剩下了半罐水。

The water bearer felt sorry for the cracked pot, and in his compassion, he said, "As we return to the masters house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."

“这两年来，因为我身上的裂缝，运水到主人家时一路上总是漏水，等到了主人家就只剩下半罐水了。由于我的缺陷，你必须做所有的工作，而你的价值却没法得到充分的体现。”这个水罐说。
