Once upon a time, in a barn far away, there were two kinds of animals: rats and horses. The rats were sneaky creatures, always causing chaos and mischief, while the horses were majestic and pure. One day, the barn owner planted some seeds of delicious oats for his horses to eat, but unfortunately, some rat droppings were mixed in with the seeds.
As time passed, the oats grew tall and the horses munched on them contently. However, soon enough, the rats snuck in and started eating the oats too. The barn owner noticed the weeds among the good plants and was upset, but when he asked his workers to remove the weeds, they warned him that pulling them out might damage the healthy oats.
So, the barn owner decided to let the rats and the horses grow together until the time of harvest. The horses continued to eat the good oats, while the rats continued to sneak around and eat whatever they could. But when harvest time finally came, the barn owner separated the rats from the horses and threw them into a separate pen to deal with them later.
Similarly, as Jesus taught in the Bible, there are good and bad people in this world. Just like the rats and horses growing together in the barn, the good and the bad can coexist in this world, but one day, they will be separated. At the time of harvest, the good will be rewarded and the bad will be punished. So, let us strive to be like the horses, pure and honest creatures, and not like the sneaky rats who cause trouble wherever they go.
