And the halls did fail again, and the servant gave more ownership to the moneylenders and could no longer direct the halls.

Those that have ears to hear, hear of the servant and the gambling halls.

But this is not the end of the parable of the pretend successful servant.

For the pretend successful servant had discovered that he could sell his name, for the people associated his name with talents, although he did continually lose them.

And so the servant did sell steaks. And the servant did say that the steaks were of great worth.

But few did buy the steaks. 

But the servant continued to boast of his steaks, even though he did no longer sell them.

The pretend successful servant knew he could sell his name, for his name meant success in the eyes of the people.

And so the servant did build a school for profit, to teach success to the people.

But the success of the servant was pretend, wasting the talents given him by his father and the publicans.

Without knowledge, there can be no teaching.

But the servant took shekels from the poor, to add to his talents, and did promise the poor wealth.

And the poor did cry: Fraud! Fraud!

And the servant did attempt to bring the poor to the magistrate, to stop them from crying fraud.

And the governors of the land did investigate the fraud, and the school did close.

And the pretend successful servant did look upon his many talents and did say: I am the greatest.

But the pretend successful servant, having started with 100 talents from his father, and the publicans, would have had more had he put his money to the exchangers.

But the pretend successful servant could not understand this. He did consider himself the greatest, and did boast, and did cast scorn on the foreigner, and the stranger, and the poor, the tradesman, and the good merchant, and any woman who did challenge him. And many, drawn by his boasts, did say, Be our leader!

And the pretend successful servant said: Yea, for I am successful in all my doings, and will make you the greatest.
