Once upon a time there lived a Chinese emperor. He had a beautiful palace, the most remarkable decoration of which was considered to be two vases - real works of art. The emperor loved them very much and placed them in the most luxurious hall of his palace.
But one day an accident happened - one of the vases fell to the floor and broke into small pieces. The emperor grieved for a long time, but then ordered to find craftsmen who could glue it back together.
And such masters were found. They worked days and nights until finally the vase was assembled again. She was almost no different from her friend, but there was still one significant difference between them: the glued vase could no longer hold water. However, she had invaluable experience - the experience of being broken and put back together.
