The Cracked pot. An eTwinning Project. 6th and 4th.

The Cracked Pot 
Once upon a time a woman named Chang Chang worked for a merchant  . The merchant's home was high atop a hill, and Chang Chang worked as the merchant's laundress. Every day she had to walk down the hill to collect water from the stream.
When she was young, Chang Chang made two pots to carry her water, and these she hung upon a pole she could carry over her shoulders. She painted one pot blue and the other red, and on each pot she painted flowers. Chang Chang loved flowers. And she loved her pots.
One day, as Chang Chang prepared to place the pole over her shoulders, she noticed the blue pot had a slender crack along its side, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.  At the end of the long walk 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 2 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.'
 Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots.
But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. We've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them.

The origin of hapiness

THE ORIGIN OF HAPPINESS

There was once a boy who hardly had any toys or money.
Nevertheless, he was a very happy little boy. He said that what made him happy was doing things for others, and that doing so gave him a nice feeling inside.
However, no one really believed him; they thought he was loopy.

He spent all day helping others, dispensing charity to the poorest, and looking after abandoned animals. Very seldom did he ever do anything for himself.
One day, he met a famous doctor who thought the boy's case was so peculiar that he decided to investigate him. So, with a complex system of cameras and tubes, the doctor managed to record what was happening inside the boy. What he discovered was surprising.

Each time the boy did something good, a thousand tiny angels gathered around the boy's heart and started tickling it.
That explained the boy's happiness, but the doctor continued studying until he discovered that we all have our own thousand angels inside us. Unfortunately, he found that, as we do so few good things, the angels spend most of their time wandering about, bored.

And so it was that the secret to happiness was discovered. Thanks to that little boy we now know exactly what we have to do to feel our hearts being tickled.

 EL ORIGEN DE LA FELICIDAD
Había una vez un niño que no tuvo apenas juguetes o dinero.Sin embargo, él era un niño muy feliz. Decía que  lo hacía feliz estar  haciendo cosas por los demás, y que al hacerlo le daba  una sensación muy agradable en el interior.Sin embargo, nadie le creyó; pensaban que era  una idea descabellada.

Pasaba todo el día ayudando a los demás, practicaba la caridad con  los más pobres, y cuidaba de los animales abandonados también. Muy rara vez  hizo para sí mismo.Un día, conoció a un famoso médico que pensó que el caso del niño era tan peculiar que decidió investigarlo. Así, con un complejo sistema de cámaras y tubos, el médico logró grabar lo que sucedía en el interior del niño. Lo que descubrió fue sorprendente.
Cada vez que el niño hacía algo bueno, un millar de diminutos ángeles se reunían  alrededor del corazón del chico y empezaban a hacerle cosquillas.Eso explicaba la felicidad del niño, pero el médico siguió estudiando hasta que descubrió que todos tenemos nuestras propios miles ángeles dentro de nosotros. Por desgracia, se encontró con que,  son tan pocas las cosas buenas  que hacemos que los ángeles se encuentran aburridos y vagando la mayor parte del tiempo.

Y así fue que el secreto de la felicidad fue descubierto. Gracias a ese niño ahora sabemos exactamente lo que tenemos que hacer conquilleo dentro de nuestros corazones. 

No olvidéis chicos que esto es sólo un cuento que tenemos que trabajar dentro del Proyecto eTwinning  "The man with the green suitcase".
