Once there lived a man who fetches water from a nearby pond to his master who lived on a hill. He fetches water in two pots tied up at two ends of a long stick, which rest on the shoulder with two pots at ends. One of the two pots has a leak that whenever this man fills it up near the pond and by the time he reaches his master's house, the water in the leaking pot would become one - fourth whereas the other pot was intact.
That was the daily routine and still the man didn't change the damaged pot. One day the damaged pot asked this man :-
Pot : Oh man ! I am a worthless pot and I always leak. You throw me away as I'm good at nothing and get a new one like another which is intact.
Hearing this, Man laughs and asks the pot to keep calm and observe the adjacent region on the left of the road they take every day.
The pot obeys and watches the barren land with no beautiful flowers until they reach the master's house.
Pot : What is there in that land ? I just found barren land with grass and dust.
To which the man Smiles contently and ask the pot to watch the other side of the road.
The pot notices a beautiful garden with full of flowers and it gave a fresh look.
Pot : Wow ! This is a Picturesque beauty, can't even believe.
Man : You should believe my pot, because it is the beauty made by you ! Everyday when we pass through this road you water those plants whose seeds I have sown. You watered it and made it a Incredible reality.
MORAL : Never underestimate yourself. You may not fit to do some pointed things, but you can make some small wonders.
