The Story of the Potter from the Panchatantra
The potter was no real warrior, and he feared going into the battleground. All the preparations for
battle made him tense. But he was resolved to prove himself as a warrior in the battleground. While
inspecting, the king noticed the potter. He took him aside and asked, "O Warrior, fighting which battle did you
get this deadly scar?“ The potter replied, "O king, this scar was not caused by any wound by any sword. Being
a potter by profession myself, my home was full of pots.
One night, I tripped after drinking more than I should have, I tripped over them that caused this
wound. Due to improper attention, the wound left this big scar.“
When the king heard the truth, he felt embarrassed for his earlier decision. He asked his soldiers, "He
is a potter, who has deceived me by pretending to be a warrior. Drive him away from the army!"
The potter fell on his knees, and pleaded to the king, "O King, please do not do this. Have mercy on
me, for I am sure I will be able to prove my bravery on the battleground. Please give me a chance to prove my
worth."
The king replied, "You may have excellent qualities, and you may be brave. But you do not possess
the qualities required on the battleground. When the other warriors will come to know that you are only a
potter, they will ridicule you. You will get yourself killed on the battleground! It is better if you leave, and
return to your home."
