Folklore and Fairy Tales: The Broken Pot
Brief synopsis of “The Broken Pot”:
The fascinating story behind this short Indian Tale, is that according to
the translator Joseph Jacobs,
the age old saying “Don't count your chickens before they are hatched”
can be traced back to this tale and the Indian culture.
I don't imagine there are many educated people who've never heard that saying,
so it's quite interesting that it derived in India.
I'd also suggest that this tale would also teach the lesson:
“Don't put all of your eggs in one basket” - since this miser had
put all the rice he'd spent so much time begging for in one pot,
and when the broke the pot - his many hopes and dreams were dashed.
At any rate, it's an interesting tale and one a young child would probably be able to understand.
This tale also shares a lesson that's near and dear to my heart:
“It takes money to make money” - a saying that is so true.
While he may have been counting chickens, and putting his eggs all in one basket
- he was also adept at thinking of ways to parlay a little bit into so much more.
