from SnackTales Hosted by Deborah Swan

The Empty Pot is a Chinese folktale. In this story, the Emperor doesn’t have any children. Since only males can be emperor, he comes up with a great idea! He will give the boys in his kingdom each a "royal seed" to grow in three months’ time. The grower of the most magnificent plant will be crowned the successor. However, there is a slight twist, one that will test their character! Will any of the youth be honest when faced with the challenges? Will their desire to be crowned the Emperor lead them down the wrong path? Let’s listen to the story and find out!
