An elderly Chinese woman carried two pots on a pole across her neck each day to collect water - one pot was perfect while the other had a crack, causing it to only deliver half as much water. After two years, the cracked pot apologized for its imperfection but the woman revealed she had planted flowers along the path of the cracked pot so that it could water them each day, allowing her to decorate her home with the beautiful flowers. She explained that without the cracked pot's flaw, this beauty would not exist, showing that people's cracks and flaws make life more interesting.
