The Parable of the Popcorn 🍿

Behold at the time of harvest, the ears of corn did bring forth kernels which were dried and prepared for the Popper's hand. And then it was that the popper did take the kernels, all that did appear alike and good unto Him, and poured the oil and applied the heat. 🌽

And it came to pass that when the heat was on, some did explode with promise and did expanded a hundred fold. And some did burst forth with fluffiness which did both gladden the eye and satisfy the taste of the Popper. And likewise some did pop, but not too much. 🍿

Behold, there were some that did only lie there, and even through the popper's heat was alike unto all, some did just bask in the oil and keep everything that they had unto themselves.

And so it came to pass that those which had given of themselves did bring forth much joy and delight to many munchers. But those which kept of the warmth and did not bring forth anything were only cast into the pail and thought of with distaste and disgust. 😖

And thus we see that in the beginning all appear alike, but when the heat is on, some come forth and give all they have for the Popper and His pleasure, while others fail their purpose and become as chaff, so as to be discarded and forgotten. 🍂
