"The Two Pots" by William Ellery Leonard

THE TWO POTS
A fable adapted by William Ellery Leonard
from "The Two Pots" by Aesop

Two Pots adown the river pass.
One is earthen, one is brass.
The Earthen to the Other saith:
"Don't come nigh me -- you'll be my death,
For if you bump, you'll thump and shiver
All my person in the river,
And that would be a sorry end."

An equal makes the only friend.
