Talents

One day a boy named Zelos was sitting around thinking about how he wanted to have as many talents as everyone else when a sudden realization hit him. In the parable of the talents that Christ told at some point in the New Testament, (you can tell Zelos knows the Bible real well) the Lord of all those three people didn't give them the same amount of talents, it didn't really matter to him, what did matter was how they used the talents. It mattered most to the receiver of the one talent, why was he meant to get only one talent? Did his master hate him, or just love the others more? Zelos doesn't think that's the case, he thinks the master loved them all, but he might have seen potential in that one, thinking if he only tried maybe he could get more then the others. Of course Zelos could have made all that up, but he likes to think that although he doesn't feel like he has as many talents as others, maybe his master saw some potential in him, knowing if he tries harder then the others he'll be able to come home with just as many talents as the others.
