The Empty Pot by Demi [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
Anything young Ping plants, blossoms. When the old Emperor announces that the child who grows the most special flower from the Emperor’s seeds will become his successor, Ping, too, eagerly participates. But Ping’s seed does not sprout and he returns to the palace with an empty pot, where he is justly rewarded for his honesty.
