Helen walking through the steppe with two buckets, one of which has a visible leak dripping water.
In a distant steppe, there was a girl named Helen who used two buckets to carry water from the river. One bucket was perfect and whole, while the other had a tiny hole at the bottom. The leaky bucket always leaked water, so Helen could only bring home half the water she collected.

The leaky bucket felt sad and useless, always wishing to be like its whole companion. One day, it asked Helen to be replaced, feeling unworthy and ashamed of its flaw. It thought that it was not as good as the whole bucket.

Helen asked the leaky bucket, "What do you see around you when we go home?" The leaky bucket replied, "Nothing." But from the whole bucket's side, it saw dry land. Helen shared that from the leaky side, there were beautiful flowers growing. She called it a special bucket, as it helped plant flowers, bringing joy to their home.

The story teaches us that even with flaws, like the leaky bucket, we can still be useful and bring happiness if we know how to use them positively. It's important to look at things from different perspectives and find the beauty in our unique qualities. Just like the leaky bucket, we all have unseen powers that can make the world a better place.
