00:00Patience is the key to success
00:14What is wrong Tofu?
00:16I don't want to go to school today.
00:18Jim and Jerry took all the tokens I had collected
00:22for the charity and submitted it as their own.
00:25Now they are going to win the appreciation sticker.
00:29Don't worry about it, Tofu.
00:31Sometimes it's okay to let go of things
00:34and just hold on to the joy they brought you.
00:37I don't know, Tia.
00:39Do you know a nice story to help me believe?
00:43Sure, I'll tell you a story.
00:55Once upon a time, a poor farmer was ploughing his field.
01:02When he hit something hard, it was a large metal pot.
01:12What's this? A metal pot?
01:15I wonder if there is something more valuable underneath.
01:20In the hope that the pot will be of some use to him
01:23In the hope that he could find something more valuable
01:27the farmer dug deeper and wider.
01:36Tired after hours of searching, the farmer decided to rest.
01:41He left his spade in the pot
01:48and lay down under the tree.
01:53He was relieved that the pot was empty.
02:09A while later, when he got up
02:13and went back to the pot
02:20he was surprised.
02:23It is full of hundreds of spades.
02:25I had left only one in it.
02:29Looks like this is a magical pot.
02:33Let me see what will happen if I put a mango in it.
02:53And just as the farmer had thought,
02:55the one mango turned into hundreds of mangoes when he left it in the pot.
03:01This is truly a magical pot.
03:04I will take it home and use it as my kitchen.
03:09I'll see what will happen.
03:23Let's use it to tide over our troubles.
03:28The farmer went home and hid the pot at a safe place.
03:34He then went to the market and sold the mangoes.
03:38He earned a handsome sum for them.
03:43On the way back, he brought some grains.
03:47He went home and put each one of them in the pot one by one.
04:09Soon he had enough of grains to last his family for a long time.
04:16The farmer called his wife
04:21and told her everything that had happened.
04:47This is a blessing.
04:48We should use it wisely to become rich, but also keep it safely hidden.
04:55The farmer agreed with his wife.
05:01Over the year, he slowly started putting things in the pot.
05:05Fruits, vegetables, rice, and milk.
05:11in the pot – fruits, vegetables, textiles.
05:21And in some years, he turned around his family's fortune.
05:26Though they had been secretive and very careful about their magic pot
05:30people started noticing how they had become rich.
05:34And soon their secret was out.
05:39It even reached the king's ears.
05:51Such a powerful magical pot should be a part of the king's treasury.
05:56The farmer has no right to keep it.
05:58Only I have the right to own that pot.
06:02The king ordered the soldier to bring the pot to the palace.
06:11The soldier stormed into the farmer's home.
06:21And he threw the pot into the river.
06:23And confiscated the pot.
06:28They brought it to the king.
06:31Let me see what is inside the pot that makes it so magical.
06:35Once I find what it is, I will become a hundred times more powerful.
06:42The king peered over the pot and looked into it.
06:45As he did, he lost his balance and fell into the river.
06:50As he fell, he hit his head on the edge of the pot and became unconscious.
06:57When he woke up, he saw that there were hundreds of kings like him.
07:08They all fought each other to get to the throne.
07:14And died.
07:15Soon the news reached the farmer and his wife.
07:19Should we get the pot back now?
07:22The king was foolish and his curiosity killed him.
07:25But it is not safe to keep the pot anymore.
07:29We have enough money and riches to take care of us and our many next generations.
07:37Let us leave the pot within the king's house.
07:40Let us leave the pot within the king's treasury.
07:44Oh, thank you, Tia.
07:46That was indeed an inspiring story.
07:49And I feel much better now letting go of those tokens.
07:55Good to know that, Tofu.
07:57Now will you please finish your cereal so that we can go?
