each hung on the ends of a pole she carried across her shoulders.

00:00:08

One of the pots was cracked

00:00:10

while the other was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

00:00:14

By the end of the long walk from the stream to the house,

00:00:17

the cracked pot was only half full.

00:00:20

This went on every day for 2 full years,

00:00:23

with the woman bringing home only 1.5 pots of water.

00:00:27

Of course,

00:00:27

the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments,

00:00:30

but the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection

00:00:34

and miserable that it could only do half of what it was made to do.

00:00:38

After two years of what it perceived as bitter failure,

00:00:42

it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.

00:00:45

I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes

00:00:49

water to leak out all the way back to your house.

00:00:52

The old woman smiled.

00:00:54

Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path,

00:00:57

but not on the other side?

00:00:59

I have always known about your floor,

00:01:01

so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,

00:01:04

and every day while we walked back,

00:01:06

you watered them.

00:01:08

For 2 years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

00:01:13

Without you being just the way you are,

00:01:15

there would not be this beauty to grace the house and the outdoors.
