An old woman has two large pots, one on each end of a pole（扁担）. She carried the pole with the pots（壶）__     __ her neck.
One of the pots had a crack（裂缝）in it while the other pot was perfect and always filled a full pot of water. At the end of the long __     _ from the well（井）to the house, the cracked pot _      only half-full left.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only __     ___ pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was _     __. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman _     __ the well:“I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your __     __.”
The old woman smiled:“Did you notice that there are ___     __ on your side of the path, but not on __     __ pot’s side? That’s because I have __     _ known about your crack, so I __     __ flower seeds（籽）on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you ___     __ them.” She added, “ For _     _ years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate（装饰）the table. Without you, being just the ___     ___ you are, I would not have this beauty.”
Each of us has our own cracks. But it’s these __     _ that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful.
