For a full two years, this went on __39__， with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.

Of course, the perfect pot was __40__ of its advantages. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and __41__ that it was able to __42__ only half of what it had been made to do. __43__ two years of what sensed to be a bitter __44__， it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of myself, and I want to __45__ to you. I have been able to __46__ only half my load because this crack in my side __47__ water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my __48__， you have to do a lot of this work, and you don't get full value from your __49__，” the pot said.

The bearer said to the pot, “Did you __50__ that there were flowers only on your side of the path, __51__ not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always __52__ your fault, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've __53__ them.

For two years I have been able to __54__ these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the __55__ you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.”
