There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckers. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.
Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say, "See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!"
And all that the old bucket could say was. "I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least."
One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, "You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path."
Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried. there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth; one the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.
有一个花匠对他的花园很是爱惜。他有两只桶来浇灌他的花儿。一只新的，一只旧的。旧的已经的用了好几年了，已经没那么好用了。 每天早上，花匠先把两只桶装满水，一边一只，然后沿着小路，一直挑到花圃中。连新水桶都为自己感到自傲，因为它可以装满满一桶水并且一滴也不会洒出来。而旧水桶却因为身上的洞而感到自卑：到达花圃时，就已经有很多的水漏在路边上。时不时的新水桶会说：看我多能干，有我来浇花就足够了，真不明白主人为什么还会用你们!真是浪费空间! 旧水桶此时仅仅会说：我知道我没用，但我会尽力做好。至少，当发现主人看我们还是有一点用时就很开心了。 一天，主人得知它们的谈话。像往常一样，主人浇完花，说道：你们的各自己做的都很好，现在我要带你们回去，不过你们要仔细的看看你们走回的路。两只桶照做了。在整个路上，它们看到：新水桶经过的地方是光秃秃的土地，而旧水桶经过的地方，野花成行，一直蔓延到花圃。
