A pair of grandparents go shopping at a souvenir shop to find a gift for their grandchild. Then their eyes are fixed on a beautiful cup. "Look at the cup," the grandmother told her husband. "You're right, this is the prettiest cup I've ever seen," said the old man.
As they approached the cup, suddenly the cup in question spoke "Thanks for the attention, please note that I was not pretty. Before becoming an admired cup, I was just a pile of useless clay. But one day there was a craftsman with a dirty hand throwing me into a spinning wheel.
Then he started twirling me until I felt dizzy. Stop! Stop! I shouted, But the man said "no!" Then he started poking and punching me repeatedly. Stop! Stop! I shouted again. But this guy still punched me, ignoring my shout. Even worse he put me in the fireplace. Hot! Hot! I shouted loudly. Stop! Enough! I shouted again. But this man said "not yet!"
Finally he lifted me out of the fireplace and let me cool. I think, finished my misery. Oh it has not. After cold I was given to a young woman and and she started coloring me. The smoke was so cloying. Stop! Stop! I shouted.
The woman said "not yet!" Then he gave me to a man and he put me in a fireplace hotter than before! Please! Stop this torture! As I wept I shouted as loudly as I could. But this guy does not care about my screams. He keeps burning me. Once satisfied "torture me" now I'm allowed to cool.
After being completely cold, a beautiful woman picked me up and placed me near the glass. I see myself. I was shocked. I could hardly believe it, because in front of me stood a cup so beautiful. All my past afflictions and sufferings vanished when I saw myself.
Briliant!!!
