There was a certain man named Job who others esteemed as highly favored because of his many God-given talents.
Then, as the time approached for God to collect he started with the owner of what seemed to be no talent.
God was very displeased with this man for not improving on what he was given and banished him, but before doing so allowed the man to speak.
The man angrily cried out that it had all been unfair and if he had been given so many talents like Job he would have multiplied!
Out of compassion, yet doubt he took All but hidden talents from Job thus making him equal to the other man.
Job woke up to discover this change, but instead discovered more talent and used them to the point of creating new ones.
This pleased God greatly and frustrated the other man for when talents were collected Job had more than doubled his old amount of given talents.

Melissa Babcock Holden No, this isn't taken from scripture. I didn't use a disclaimer because I thought it was obvious.

Melissa Babcock Holden I've been considering writting a book of parables cause they just allow ideas to be transfered most purely.
