| [00:02.20]The Potter陶工 [00:05.46]Once there was a very religious and skillful potter whose pottery was well-known far and wide. [00:12.05]However, he was not satisfied with his finely crafted but fragile pottery. [00:17.38]He thought if the pottery made by him could be unbreakable, [00:21.34] his reputation and his business would be even better. [00:25.70]He prayed hard to God to grant his wish for unbreakable pottery. [00:30.62] One night, he dreamt that God said to him, [00:34.00]“If you are sure you won’t regret it, I will make your wish come true.” [00:39.37]The potter said, “Yes, God, I am sure that I will not regret it.” [00:44.62]The next morning, the first thing the potter did when he woke up [00:49.00] was to test whether God had granted his wish. [00:52.21]In his workshop, he used the clay to craft a pot. [00:56.16] Then he dried it under the sun. [00:58.89] When the pot was dried, he lifted it and dashed it to the floor. [01:03.59]The pot did not break! The potter was filled with joy. [01:08.84]The news of the unbreakable pots made by the potter spread very fast. [01:13.98]People from all over the world rushed here for his pottery. [01:17.81]He became very rich and famous. [01:20.88]But, the good fortune did not last. [01:23.83] After a while, his business slowed down. [01:26.67] Although everybody kept praising his product, [01:30.00]whoever bought one did not need to buy another again because the pots were unbreakable. [01:36.30]The business got poorer by the day, as did his financial status. [01:41.65] He now kept praying to God to let him recover his original pottery. [01:47.12]One night, he dreamt that God appeared to him. [01:50.84] Tearfully, he begged God to forgive him for his foolishness. [01:55.00]God said, “Because you admit your mistake, [01:58.85]I will forgive you and make your latest wish come true.” [02:02.65]So from then onwards, the potter’s original pottery was once again in great demand. |
