It's a simple story about Farmer McGuinnes, who was too poor to have running water in his home. As a result, he had to take his two watering buckets to the river and fill them every day. When one of the two buckets sprang a leak, half of its water was lost between the river and the farmer's home. The damaged bucket was ashamed of its inability to do its intended job, but Farmer McGuinnes didn't seem to mind. Finally, in despair, the bucket apologized to the farmer and got a most unexpected response, as the farmer explained that even a bucket with a flaw had a useful purpose. When he showed the flawed bucket what it had accomplished, it was amazed and happy and very proud of its achievement.So the moral of the story is that each of us has our own unique flaws, but those flaws can make our lives interesting and rewarding if we use them to the best advantage. It's a great lesson for youngsters to learn at an early age.
