Pshat: A king gives two of his servants, one who is sensible and the other, foolish, a measure of wheat and a bundle of wax. When the King asks the servants for his materials back, the sensible servant presents him with bread made of flour with cloth over it, while the foolish servant, chooses to present him with nothing. The king is ashamed of the foolish servant because he does not create anything out of the materials and resources given.
