As the day of the contest approaches, Ping's faith in his empty pot is tested. The other children present their magnificent flowers to the Emperor, each hoping to win the coveted gold coin. One by one, they are disqualified when the Emperor discovers that their flowers are not real but artificial blooms.
Ping steps forward, his heart pounding with both anticipation and trepidation. He presents his empty pot to the Emperor, explaining that he has not grown a flower because he was given an empty pot.
