The Cracked Pot ひびの入ったかめ 　その3

　The water carrier was surprised that the old cracked pot felt this way,
and said、
“As we return to master's house, I want you to notice
the beautiful flowers along the path.”
　
　So, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of
the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers at the side of the path,
and this cheered it a little.

But at the end of the journey, it still felt bad for having let
half of its water drip away, and so again the pot said sorry to the carrier
for its failure.

　The carrier said to the pot,
“Don't you notice that the flowers were only on your side of the path,
and not the other pot's side?”
That's because I have always known about the crack in your side,
and I took advantage of it.

I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while
we walked back from the stream, you've watered them.

* take advantage of...　　・・・を利用する、・・・を生かす
