" Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
But then the sun came up and fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so they did not bear grain. Still the other seed fell on good soil, it came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty,sixty, or even a hundred times."
