There was once a lady who was not too rich, nor poor. One day her neighbor asked if she can borrow a pot from her. The next morning she handed the lady back the pot and when the lady looked in the pot there was a smaller pot. The woman who had borrowed the pot explained that the pot she borrowed had a son during the night! The lady was delighted to hear this and accepted the pot. A few days later the lady's neighbor asked to borrow the pot again. This time the neighbor did not return it. The lady came and asked if she can have her pot back, but her neighbor said it died. "A pot can't die!" said the lady. "Why not?" said her neighbor. "If a pot can have a son, it can surely die." she explained. |
