Parable of Lamp and Salt

One time Lamp and the Salt were talking to each other in the kitchen. Lamp said, “I’m better than the rest of the things in this house. I brighten this kitchen every night so the children can enjoy their food.” Salt also said, “Of course not. I’m the best in this house because without me, the food here will have no taste.” Then the two saw Matchstick (Palito) and belittled him: “Oh poor Matchstick! Your head is bigger than your body. Your house is very small and you always live in darkness.”

Then the cook came to the kitchen. She took Matchstick, strike it but Matchstick refused to light; stroke another one, and another one, until there was no more stick.  Lamp was not able to have light; and the cook was not able to cook and use Salt.

Jesus once said: “You are salt of the earth…You are the light of the world" (Mat 5:13-16).
