6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Once upon a time, a long time ago in China

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: lived a woman named Chang Chung. Chung Chong means sing

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: in Chinese, and she loved singing. La la la la la.

9
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: Chang Chong lived in a house at the top of

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: a mountain. It was a beautiful place to sing, but

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: the mountain top didn't have any running water. So every

12
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: day Chang Chung went down down down mountain to the

13
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: river carrying two wooden buckets. She dunked the buckets into

14
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: the river to fill them up. Then she walked slowly

15
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: back up the dirt path to the top of the mountain.

16
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: Up up up the mountainside, my bucket swinging at my side.

17
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: One day, when she got to the top of the mountain,

18
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: she saw that one bucket had a crack in it.

19
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: A lot of water had leaked out the bucket, noticed

20
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: it too, Oh, no.

21
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: For sure, she's going to throw me away.

22
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't think so, said the other bucket.

23
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: She's too kind.

24
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Before bed that night, Tung Chong tried to fix the

25
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: cracked bucket with some clad. The next morning, Chang Chong

26
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: went down to the river as usual to fill up

27
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: the buckets. Then she headed back up.

28
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: Up, up up the mountain, inside my bucket, swinging up

29
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: my side.

30
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, whispered the leaky bucket, because guess what. The

31
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: bucket was leaking again. I'm no good and I feel

32
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: like i'm I'm crying. Don't worry, said the other bucket.

33
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: Of course, you're good. That night, Tangtong sat down next

34
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: to the empty buckets, but she didn't try to fix

35
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: the bucket again. Instead, she and the buckets made music together,

36
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: and then she decided to name her buckets. She called

37
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: them leak a Lot, we know which one that was.

38
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: And.

39
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Bongo. The next morning they went down the mountain as usual,

40
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: even though lek a Lot was well leaky. This went

41
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: on for days and weeks and months and maybe even years.

42
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: One day, leek a Lot felt he could cry no

43
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: more tears. He was sick of leaking water out on

44
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: the path. It was time to speak up.

45
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: Oom excuse me.

46
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Chang Chung didn't hear at first, and then she looked

47
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: around for a minute before she realized who was talking.

48
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: She was oh surprised. She couldn't find the right words

49
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: eh oh, but did give it a wh.

50
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: Yes, it's me.

51
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: I'm just no good.

52
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Bongo here gets to the top of the mountain every

53
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: day completely full, and me I'm always half empty. You

54
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: mean half full, said Chang Chung.

55
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know, but I'm useless useless.

56
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: You are not.

57
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: Haven't you seen the mountainside lately? Oh no, I'm I'm

58
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: usually too busy crying.

59
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: I don't look around much.

60
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: So Chang Chong asked the bucket to please do his

61
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: job one more day, but this time take a good

62
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: look at the path as they climbed back up the mountain.

63
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: If Lek a Lotte still felt that he was useless,

64
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: well then he didn't have to come down to the

65
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: river anymore. So she dunked the buckets and started up

66
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: the mountain path. Ooo, that's the sound Leak a Lot made,

67
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: because do you know what he saw? Next to the

68
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: path were flowers of all colors and sizes, and bees

69
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: buzzing and butterflies fluttering but on the other side of

70
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: the path, closer to Bongo, it was brown with just

71
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of grass.

72
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 4: You see, leagal Lot. Long ago, I thought you were imperfect,

73
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: and I tried to fix that crack of yours sory

74
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 4: no no. Then I realized that you are perfect in

75
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: your own way for a different job, and I began

76
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 4: throwing seeds along your side of the path so that

77
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: you could water them on our way back up. And

78
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: that's how leek a Lot learned that Chang Chong had

79
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 4: been grateful all.

80
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: These years for his leak. Together they had made a

81
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: beautiful mountainside garden.

82
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 3: Boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo

83
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: boo boo boom up up up the mountainside, my bucket

84
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: swinging by my side.
