Once upon a time, there was a SPAM king who was going on a long vacation. He called his three SPAMmy servants and gave the first one five cans of SPAM, the second one two cans and the third one, just one can of SPAM, according to their abilities. Then he left.
The first servant took the five cans of SPAM and used them to create a delicious SPAM banquet, inviting all his neighbors to come and enjoy it. The second servant used his two cans of SPAM to create a SPAM sandwich shop, and it quickly became the talk of the town. The third servant, who only had one can of SPAM, was afraid of losing it and buried it in the ground.
When the SPAM king returned, he called his servants to him. The first two proudly showed him what they had done with his SPAM, and the king was pleased. He said to them, “Well done, good and faithful servants! You have been faithful with a few cans of SPAM; I will put you in charge of many more cans of SPAM. Come and share your master’s SPAM!”
The third servant came forward and said, “I knew you to be a SPAM king, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not sow, so I was afraid and hid your one can of SPAM in the ground. Here it is – just as you gave it to me.”
The SPAM king was not pleased. He said to the servant, “You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I harvest where I have not planted and gather where I have not sown. You should have at least put my SPAM in the bank, so that when I returned, I would have received it back with interest. Take this one can of SPAM away from him and give it to the one who has ten cans of SPAM. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.”
And that, my friends, is the parable of the SPAM talents. Don’t be afraid to use your SPAM to create something great, because those who take chances and multiply their SPAM will be rewarded.
