4

And while he did so, some seeds were dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took them for food:

5

And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:

6

And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.

He who has ears, let him give ear.
