"Listen. What do you make of this? A farmer planted seed.
4
As he scattered the seed, some of it fell on the road and birds ate it.
5
Some fell in the gravel; it sprouted quickly but didn't put down roots,
6
so when the sun came up it withered just as quickly.
7
Some fell in the weeds; as it came up, it was strangled among the weeds and nothing came of it.
8
Some fell on good earth and came up with a flourish, producing a harvest exceeding his wildest dreams.
