A man had two pots: one that was perfect and one that had a crack. He used them to carry water from the well to his home. The cracked pot always leaked water, but the man continued to use it. Over time, the path where the cracked pot spilled water became filled with beautiful flowers. The parable teaches us that our imperfections can lead to unexpected beauty and that every person has a unique purpose.
