    I didn’t get the message as well.

    I think the big reason is the tree to the right obscuring the continuity from the pond to the house. Maybe the row of flowers continuing towards the pond’s edge (sans tree) would have made it more obvious.

    This applies to ADHD as well: We might seem to be procrastinating, but i at least get a whole lot of stuff done during that “procrastination” period, such as reading unrelated wikipedia articles. I wouldn’t learn stuff if i didn’t do it because i’m procrastinating on something else.

    I don’t get it. Did the bucket become a planting pot?

      The leaky bucket caused the row of flowers to grow.

      Moral is something like, ‘even if you think you’re failing at a task, your benefit is simply not being measured / seen.’

        Or you’re a failure. Both are possible options. It’s a nice story though.

        That’s great and all but I can’t eat flowers, my nana broke her back from the extra work you caused and my wife is deathly allergic to flowers, if you were only good at your one job we could have saved my entire family, go sit in the scrap heap and think about what you’ve done.

          Flowers need water to grow, so if one side is dry and the other has water it would make sense for flowers to only grow on the wet side, right?

            That little dribble of water isn’t going to be anywhere near enough water to germinate a seed.

        Also the water is the vast majority of the weight

        The drips coming out of the “broken” bucket watered the ground along the way. This allowed a path of flowers to grow that lead the way between the two spots.
