The Broken Teapot

Written story
Mulla bought a beautiful, expensive teapot in the market. As he walked, he thought, If I drop this at home, where am I going to find someone to glue the porcelain back together? He realized he was standing right next to the town's porcelain repair shop. "Perfect," Mulla said. He immediately smashed the teapot on the cobblestone, gathered up the pieces, and handed them to the repairman to fix.
