Once upon a time there was a water-bearer who had two large post, each hong on each end of a pole which he carried across his beck. One of the post had a crack in it, and while the other not was perfect and always delivered a full portions of water at the end of the long walk from the steam to the masters house, the cracked not arrived only half full
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half not full of water in his masters house. Of course, the perfect not was proud of it accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. The poor cracked not was ashamed of its o imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water-bearer one day by the steam, "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologise to you"
"Why? asked the bearer. What are you ashamed of?"
"I have been able, for these last two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side caused water to leaf out all the way back to your masters house.
Because of my claws, you have to do all of this work and you don get full value from your efforts", the not said.
The water-bearer felt sorry for the old cracked not, and in his compassion he said, "As we return to e masters house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path".
Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked not took notice of the sun warning the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the bath, and this cheered it some. However, at the end of the train, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again apologised to the bearer for its failure.
The bearer said to the not, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your bath, but not on the other post side? Thats because have always known about your flaw, and took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the bath, and every day while we walk back from the steam, youre watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my masters table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grade his house".
Why did the cracked not apologise to the water-bearer
It could not accomplish its main duty
It failed to water flowers along the path
It hadmade the water-bearers master angry
It was broken and could not continue its work
It took an advantage on the water-bearers weakness
