A thirsty crow was looking for water to drink on a hot day. The crow eventually found a pot with water in it after much searching.
The crow was overjoyed. But when he inserted its beak into the pot, he couldn’t reach the water. There was only a small amount of water at the bottom. After some thought, the crow had a brilliant idea.The clever crow picked up pebbles and dropped them into the pot one by one. The water inside the pot began to rise and rise until he could finally drink it. The crow happily drank the water and flew away.
Once upon a time, there was a poor woodcutter who worked diligently every day in the mountains, chopping wood and selling them in the market. It was a ridiculously difficult task that kept him awake from dawn to dusk, but it wasn’t enough to feed his family.
When he went to a craftsman’s shop to sell the wood, he noticed that the craftsman was selling precious carved wood for thousands of rupees to a merchant. The woodcutter inquired of the craftsman, “Where do you get these lovely polished woodcrafts?”
The craftsman replied, “These are made from the same piece of wood you sold me yesterday; I cut small pieces out of them and transformed them into beautiful sculptures.”
“There is no value for my hard work,” the woodcutter expressed his sadness. In the hot summers, I worked 9-10 hours a day for a few rupees. And those of you who work a few hours at home will earn thousands of rupees. While you are not working as hard as I am, your benefit is ten times that of mine.
The craftsmen replied, “The worth of any product is measured by how useful it is, not by how much effort has been expended.”
