<P> There is a short Greek version of the fable and a longer , more circumstantial late Latin poem by Avianus . It concerns two pots , one of earthenware and the other of metal , that are being swept along a river . While the metal pot is willing that they should journey together , the clay pot hopes it will keep its distance for ' Whether the wave crashes me into you or you into me , in either case I will be the only victim ' . The moral drawn is that equal partnership is best , and especially that the poor or powerless should avoid the company of the powerful . </P>
