Cute but what's the takeaway here? Your shortcomings help others?

Don't throw away the bucket, think how a little flaw may be beautiful and even useful.

I don’t get it either, does the water holder want to water the flowers? Cause otherwise it’s still a bad bucket

Inefficiency may have positive side effects to the point of being not inefficient at all, but different

Retirement is bad! You should keep working even if you're worn out and not fit for purpose! Keep laboring!

Work harder for the bilionaires to enjoy flowers

If you're not good at the thing others expect you to do, you may be good at something else.

But you might still get fired for being a leaky bucket? Thus not getting the chance to water the path anymore?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Lol. But that bucket isn't going to get fired because it provides balance and still almost doubled the woman's carrying capacity.

Yeah, if the woman is lucky.

But the woman in this comic doesn't look like she's rolling in spare money to replace a buck that still mostly works.

(Having to spend time to carry water on a walking path isn't usually a signal of extravagant wealth.)

She probably threatens the bucket with replacement daily, though.
