HILARIOUS JOKES AND HUMOR ARCHIVES
The farmer's son was returning from the market with a crate
of chickens his father had entrusted to him, when all of a
sudden the box fell and broke open.
Chickens scurried off in all kinds of different directions,
but the determined son walked all over the neighborhood
scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the
repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy
reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst.
"Pa, the chickens got loose," the boy confessed sadly, "but
I managed to find twelve of them."
"Well, you done a good job, son," the farmer beamed.
"You left with seven."
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained
two other talents beside them.
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Then he which had received the one talent came and said,
Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where
thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not
strawed: and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in
the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and
slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not,
and gather where I have not strawed: thou oughtest therefore
to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my
coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take
therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which
hath ten talents.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall
have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken
away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. -Matthew 25:22
