The Empty Pot

The Empty Pot

A long time ago, a boy named Chen lived in China with his mother.

The emperor of China was an old man who did not have children.

The emperor made a plan to choose the next emperor. He said to his people, " I will give a flower seed to every child. In a year, come back with your pots. "

Chin planted his seed in a small pot. He gave it water. Days went by the seed, did not grow.

Chen moved the seed to a bigger pot. Weeks went by. The seed did not grow.
