The Parable of the Soils, also known as the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13), is simple yet profound- a farmer casting seed generously without regard to where it will land, the seed responding in various ways. This parable lends itself naturally to mime and is especially delightful when enacted by children. In this reader’s theater version, the Narrator remains an offstage voice. The surprise is the smallest/youngest cast member has the largest part.
