The Pot's Tale

A poor woman had a copper pot and an earthern pot in her kitchen.  The copper pot was proud of its shine and strength and always looked down on the earthen pot. Once there was a flood in the village. The flood water entered the poor woman’s house.  All the house articles were swept away in the flood. By chance, the two pots floated out together. They soon were being swept away in the swift away, he said, “Why are you there? Come near me. You are made of mud and will not be saved. If you are near men you’ll be safe and protected.” The earthen pot smiled politely and said. “Thank you my friend, but I won’t come near you at all. As you said I am made of mud so I am weak and delicate. If I come near you and a wave hits you then we’ll crash into each other, and I’ll break into many bits. I’d rather be alone and safe. 

Please don’t come near me.”

Moral : Over powerful people often spell trouble.
