How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day ! I dont know why he still bothers with you. What a

14、 waste of space you are！”And all that the old bucket could say was，“I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best .I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me，at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation .After watering the flowers as usual，he said
