There’s clearly something I’m missing. I don’t get it at all.

Leaky bucket watered flowers along the path!

Thank you! I was slightly confused as well.

My interpretation, the leaky bucket is watering the side of the path, why you see all the blooming flowers in the final panel. While the bucket is feeling like it's worthless and not as good at the task of hauling water, it has an positive impact on things around it's world.

The incompetence of the bucket allowed flowers to thrive, leading them to eventually achieve sapience and overthrow the farmer. It was during the renaissance after the post industrial age of flower society that a new peaceful era dedicated to the worship of the wooden bucket began.

Incompetence?

Maybe old age. Or lack of self worth. Or grief. Or inexperience. Or... are we still taking about a bucket?

Until the farmer sends his tank... umm... his plow.
