The Parable of the Talents

There's a parable in matthew 25 where there are three servants, and the master gives each of them a certain number of talents. He then leaves for a while and comes back see how they did with it. The first had invested that money in something we don't really know what it is, and essentially doubled his money. The second one did something similar but still had a pretty good return. The third, however, essentially just took the money and stuck it in the ground so wouldn't lose it,. And he was the one that was ridiculed in the process.
