The Parable Of The Popcorn by Wm. Mortimer

Behold at the time of the harvest the ears of corn did bring forth kernels

which were dried and prepared for the poppers hand.

And then it was that the popper did take the kernels, all of which appeared

alike unto him, and did apply the oil and the heat.

And it came to pass that when the heat was on some did explode with promise

and did magnify themselves a hundred-fold, and some did burst forth with

whiteness which did both gladden the eye and satisfy the taste of the popper.

And likewise, some others did pop, but not too much.

But lo, there were some that did just lie there and even though the popper's

heat was alike unto all, they did bask in the warmth of the oil and kept

everything they had for themselves.

And so it came to pass that those which had given of themselves did bring joy

and delight to many munchers, but those which kept of the warmth and did not

burst forth were fit only to be cast out into the pail and were thought of with

hardness and disgust.

And thus we see that in the beginning all appear alike; but when the heat is

on, some come forth and give their all, while others fail to pop and become as

chafe to be discarded and forgotten.
