There was once a rich man who had a servant who managed his property. The rich man was told that the manager was wasting his masters money so he called him in and said " what is this I hear abouy you? Turn in a complete account of your handling of my property because you cannot be my manager any longer" the servant said to himself " my master is going to dismiss me from my job. What shall i do? I am not strong enough to dig ditches and i am ashamed to beg. Now i know what will i do. Then when my job is gone i shall have friends who will welcome me in their homes. So he called in all the people who were in debt to his master. He asked the first one "how much do you owe my master? 100 barrels of olive oil he answered "here is your account the manager told him " sit down and write 50" then he asked another one And you how much do you owe ? " a thousand bushels of wheat he answered " here is your account the manager told him write 800. As a result the master of this dishonest manager praised him for doing such shrewd thing.
And so in this story we are being reminded that whoever is faithful in small matters will be faithful in large ones and whoever is dishonest in small matters will be dishonest in large ones.
