What would you do - now be honest?
Construction workers in
Vienna
fled when a naked blonde woman
charged at them shouting “Who wants me?”
The
startled labourers were working on a building site near the Austrian
capital’s railway station when the portly woman appeared.
“We like to chat up the girls as they walk past – it’s tradition”
said one. “But this woman was too much to handle and we hid until the
police got here. No one liked to think what would happen if she caught one
of us”

CRACKED POTS - An ancient
chinese fable |
|
| |
An
elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole
which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while
the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At
the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot
arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the
woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.. Of course, the
perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable
that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After two years
of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by
the stream. 'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side
causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.'
The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of
the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always
known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,
and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been
able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you
being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the
house.'
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each
have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've
just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in
them.
