The Village Chief
Once, there was a village. One day, the only well in the village was contaminated. So all the 11 people in the village had nothing to drink. The village chief volunteered to go to the nearest village to get some water.
So he set out for that village which was 20km away on foot with a large pail. After 1 day, he came back with only half a pail of water because half of it spilled along the way as the route was long and road uneven. The 10 villagers on seeing him returning with the water were very happy but their comments on him were split.
5 thanked him profusely for the half pail of water which to them was a life saver. The other 5 scolded him for bringing back only half a pail of water instead of 1 full pail.
