One jug is made
From a casting of brass,
Another is moulded
From a slurry of mud.
I let you look at both vessels
To say which one
Is firmer and can run longer
In the table serving.
If you wish to know
Why there're two different pieces,
You should know
That the trades are never the same.
If you use this simile
To test the cause of your life,
You will see the need to start
Your cultivating without delay.
