The Story

In a quiet village, two pots were carried to the river every morning. One was full and moved silently. The other was nearly empty and made a loud clanging sound with every step.

The villagers soon understood that people can be the same: those with knowledge often speak calmly, while those with little understanding sometimes make the most noise.

What We Learn
