Mike and the Pot
One
day,
Mike's
mother
needed
a
pot.
She
asked
Mi
ke
to
borrow
one
from
her
friend. So Mike went to the friend's house. She gave him a big pot. On the way home
Mike put it down on the road and looked at it. It was made of clay and had three legs.
Then he said to the
pot, 「You have three legs and I have
only two. You can carry
me for a few minutes.」 Then Mike sat down inside the pot. But the pot didn't move.
Mike
got
angry
and
broke
it
then
carried
the
broke
pot
home.
His
mother
was
angry.
「You
are
stupid.」
She said. But
Mike
thought,
「I'm
not
stupid.
O
nly
a stupid
person carried something with three legs.」
