Aesop's Fables: Townsend (1867)89. The Two Pots (Perry 378) A RIVER carried down in its stream two Pots, one made of earthenware
and the other of brass. The Earthen Pot said to the Brass Pot, 'Pray keep
at a distance and do not come near me, for if you touch me ever so slightly,
I shall be broken in pieces, and besides, I by no means wish to come near
you.'
