Commentaire sur Parah 8:6
אֵין כְּלִי חֶרֶשׂ מְטַמֵּא חֲבֵרוֹ, אֶלָּא מַשְׁקֶה. נִטְמָא מַשְׁקֶה, טִמְּאַתּוּ. הֲרֵי זֶה אוֹמֵר, מְטַמְּאֶיךָ לֹא טִמְּאוּנִי וְאַתָּה טִמֵּאתָנִי:
Un vase en terre cuite ne peut pas rendre son compagnon [vase en terre cuite] impur, mais un liquide [qu'il peut rendre impur]. Si un liquide est devenu impur, il le rend [le récipient qui le retient] rituellement impur. Voici [c'est comme si le vase] disait [au liquide]: Ce qui vous rend impur [c'est-à-dire l'autre vase en terre cuite] ne m'impurifie pas, mais vous m'avez rendu impur! "
Bartenura on Mishnah Parah
אין כלי חרס מטמא חברו – that an earthenware vessel does not ever become a primary source of ritual impurity, and an earthenware vessels is not susceptible to receive ritual impurity other than from a primary source of ritual impurity, so we see, that an earthenware vessel does not defile its fellow earthenware vessel.

English Explanation of Mishnah Parah
Behold [the vessel] would say [to the liquid], "That which defiled you did not defile me, but you did defile me." This time the vessel is talking. Kind of like Beauty and the Beast!
