The Two Pots

It was a cyclonic season. There was flood all over. Numerous houses suffocated in the flood. There was a copper pot and an earthen pot in a house. Both these were washed away in the flood to a stream.

The copper pot called the earthen pot and stated, "Old buddy, you are made of mud. You are so powerless. If it's not too much trouble draw close to me. I'll spare you".

The earthen pot answered, "Thank you for your graciousness, old buddy. In any case, let me swim to the bank without anyone else'. The earthen pot started to swim towards the bank of the waterway.

As the copper pot attempted to swim, got filled into the pot and the copper pot suffocated. However, earthen pot arrived at the bank.
