A king had a vineyard for
which he engaged many laborers, one of whom was
especially apt and skillful. What did the king do? He took this laborer from his work, and walked through the
garden conversing with him. When the laborers came for
their hire in the evening, the skillful laborer also
appeared among them and received a full day's wages from the
king. The other laborers were angry at this and said,
"We have toiled the whole day, while this man has worked
but two hours; why does the king give him the full
hire, even as to us?" The
king said to them, "Why are you
angry? Through his skill he has
done more in the two hours than
you have all day." J
Ber 2:5
