"MY IMPERFECT LITTLE POT"
Every morning a little old man somewhere in India would take two water pots down to the river and fill them with enough water for the day. One of them leaked a little, and by the time he got home, it wasn't all the way full anymore.
This went on for months and months and one morning, after returning with the water, the leaky water pot said to his master, "I'm not perfect. I leak and by the time we get home, half my water is gone. Why don't you use one of the many perfect pots you have here".
The master said to the leaky water pot, "Let's go back to the river and I will show you something". On the way back to the river, the master said, "See the ground, how dry it is all the way to the river ? Now let's return to the house. Now see the ground, where every place you leaked your water, a flower or some grass has grown ? "
The leaky, but happy little water pot said, "Why yes, I see that now." The master said, "Strength comes from our weaknesses. Because you were weak, and leaked some water, something good has grown from it. So, that is why I use you, my imperfect little pot."
