There were two pots on the bank of a river. One was made of brass, and the other was made of clay.
When the water rose, they both floated off down the river. The earthen pot tried to stay away from the brass one.
So the brass pot cried out, "Fear nothing, friend, I will not hit you."
"But I may come in contact with you," said the earthen pot. "If I come too close, whether I hit you or you hit me, I shall suffer for it."
After that, the earthen pot floated away.
