"Yes, headman," answered the Lord.
"But does the Lord teach Dhamma in full to some, but not likewise to others?"
"Now, what do yo think, headman? Suppose a farmer had three fields, one excellent, one mediocre, and one poor with bad soil. When he wanted to so the seed, which field would he sow first?"
"He would sow the excellent one, then the mediocre one. When he had done that, he might or might not sow the poor one with the bad soil. And why? Because it might do if only for cattle-fodder."
"In the same way, headman, my monks and nuns are like the excellent field. It isto these that I teah Dhamma that is lovely at the begiining, lovely in the middle and lovely at the ending,..."
