A. In the past two years, I only carried half a pot of water every trip. B. Do you know why they grow there? C. Every day, he filled a pot with water at a river and carried it to a farm. D. If you did not spill any water, the path would not become so beautiful. E. The pot was ashamed because it could only carry half the water to the farm. |
Long ago, there lived a water carrier. Unfortunately, one day, the pot hit a stone and cracked(裂开) a little. Half the water slowly spilled(溢出) outof the narrow opening as the carrier walked.
After two years, the pot said to the water carrier, "I'm so sorry."
"Why?" asked the water carrier.
" Lots of water spills through the crack. That means you have to make more trips to the river. I am a terrible pot!"
The water carrier smiled. "Look at those beautiful flowers along the path. They grow well there because of the water. "
