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."

有两个陶罐，一个是粘土做的，另一个是黄铜做的，被洪水冲下了河。铜壶叫他的同伴陶罐留在他身边，他会保护他的。

避开那些势力太大的邻居。如果发生碰撞，较弱的一个会被摧毁。
