"You remember the legend about a businessman who needed to decide which of his 3 sons should take over his business. He gave each son 4 coins and told them to buy whatever would best fill an empty store room for him. At sunset they all came back. One had bought a bale of straw which covered the floor. Another had bought a bag of thistledown which likewise covered the floor. The third son reported, "I gave 2 coins to a hungry child. I gave a third coin to the temple. With the fourth coin I bought this." It was a candle, and it filled the room with light!"
It is certainly a parable, Kim - or legend, as the opening line above says - but it is not from the Bible.
