The Story of the Wandering Cans
The Story of the Wandering Cans
There were once three cans, just like soda cans, you know them very well. They liked to travel, and enjoy life and each other’s friendship. Together, they hiked through steep, cold mountains and survived dry and hot desert trails. Then they arrived in the Land of Constant Rain. Nothing but a downpour all day.
The first can be said: I’m not going to get wet. So it shut tightly its top and bottom and sealed all holes in its side so there was no way for the water to get in.
The second can was different. He thought: it was so dry in the desert. I miss the water; I’ll get as much as possible. So it closed its bottom and sides and opened its top and let the water accumulate within.
The third can had another solution. It closed its top and bottom, but made an adjustable opening on the side, like a window to open and close at will.
Here they all were, walking through the Land of Constant Rain.
The first can thought: why does it feel so empty inside? What am missing?
The second can think: this is too much, even refreshing water!
The third can just have to adjust its opening from time to time, no big deal.
