The Duets Of Brass and Clay

The Duets Of Brass and Clay

Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a wise and kind farmer named Kishan. Kishan owned two pots, one made of clay and the other made of brass. Both pots were used to carry water from the nearby well to Kishan's farm.
One day, while Kishan was busy tending to his crops, the clay pot began to feel envious of the brass pot. The clay pot thought, "Why does Kishan favor the brass pot? It's so shiny and attractive, whereas I'm dull and ordinary."
The brass pot, sensing the clay pot's envy, replied, "My dear friend, we are both unique and serve the same purpose – to carry water for Kishan's farm. Our differences are what make us special."
But the clay pot wouldn't listen. It continued to sulk and feel sorry for itself. As a result, it began to crack and leak, spilling precious water along the way.
Kishan, noticing the clay pot's condition, gently asked, "What's troubling you, dear pot?" The clay pot confessed its envy and feelings of inadequacy.
Kishan smiled wisely and said, "My dear pot, you are not ordinary; you are extraordinary. Your clay material allows you to breathe and cool the water, making it perfect for carrying water during hot summer days. The brass pot, on the other hand, is better suited for carrying water during the cold winter months."
The clay pot realized its unique value and apologized for its envy. From that day on, the two pots worked harmoniously together, each appreciating their differences and contributing to the farm's prosperity.

*Moral* : Embracing our unique qualities and strengths, rather than comparing ourselves to others, leads to harmony and success.
