Summary
In a distant steppe, a girl used two buckets to carry water from the river. One bucket had a hole, so she always brought home only half the water. The leaky bucket felt useless, wishing to be like its whole companion. One day, it asked to be replaced, feeling unworthy. The girl asked, "What do you see around you when we go home?" The leaky bucket said, "Nothing." From the whole bucket's side, it saw dry land. However, the girl shared that from the leaky side, there were beautiful flowers. She called it a special bucket, as it helped plant flowers, bringing joy. The story teaches that even with flaws, like the leaky bucket, we can still be useful and bring happiness if we know how to use them positively.
