Question

them. I just need some short stories like these.

Answer 1

Ok, well then I'll put down and email forward I got today...
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each
hung on the ends of a
pole which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot
was perfect and
always delivered a full portion of water at the end
of the long walk from
the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only
half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the
woman bringing home
only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its
accomplishments.

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own
imperfection, and
miserable that it could only do half of what it had
been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter
failure. One day it spoke to the
Woman at the stream.

"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side
causes water to
leak out all the way back to your house”
The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are
flowers on your side
of the path, but not on the other pot's side?"
"That's because I have
always known about your flaw, so I planted flower
seeds on your side of
the path, and every day while we walk back, you water
them."

"For two years I have been able to pick these
beautiful flowers to
decorate the table. Without you being just the way
you are, there would
not be this beauty to grace the house."
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the
cracks and flaws we each
have that make our lives together so very interesting
and rewarding.

Sorry the spacing came out weird, I copied and pasted it from an email.

Answer 2

Some memorable stories:

"The Red Ibis"

"Sunrise on the Veld"

"The Yellow Wallpaper"

"Desiree's Baby"

"The Most Dangerous Game"

For funny, disturbing stories I suggest you look at Roald Dahl's works.
