Short Story on "Avoid Strong Neighbors"Avoid Strong Neighbors
Once upon a time it rained cats and dogs for several days. As a result, there were floods. Many houses collapsed and household articles were carried away by the flood waters. It was only by chance that two pitchers were also carried away by the flowing tide. One of them was made of brass while the other of baked clay. The brass pitcher was strong enough to be tossed against anything. But the clay-pitcher was in an ever present danger of being broken if it struck against something.
The brass pitcher looked at the clay pitcher on whose face, fear was writ large. So, he said, “Brother: Keep close to me; I shall protect you in every way.
“But that is even more dangerous for me, brother. If I keep at a distance from you, I may float to safety. But should we come together, it would surely be worse for me,” retorted the clay pitcher.
