Two pots, one made of clay, the other of brass, were swept down a river in a flood. The brass pot told his companion to stay by his side, and he would protect him.
"Thank you for your offer," said the clay pot,"but that's just what frightens me. If you'll just keep your distance from me, I'll be able to float down the river in safety. But if we come in contact with one another, I'm bound to be the one who'll suffer."

有兩個陶罐，一個是粘土做的，另一個是黃銅做的，被洪水衝下了河。銅壺叫他的同伴陶罐留在他身邊，他會保護他的。
“謝謝你的提議，”陶罐說，“但那正是我害怕的。如果你和我保持距離，我就可以安全地順流而下了。但是，如果我們彼此接觸，我一定是那個會受苦的人。”
避開那些勢力太大的鄰居。如果發生碰撞，較弱的一個會被摧毀。
