It is comparable to one who is asked
for a large vessel and he has one, it seems

it seems to him like a large vessel.

It is comparable to one who is asked
for a large vessel and he has one, it seems
to him like a small vessel because he owns it.
However, one who is asked for just a
small vessel and he does not have one,
it seems to him like a large vessel.
