The master got angry with the third slave because the third slave had received only one talent but went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s talent. When the master came back and asked him what he had done with his talent, the third slave replied that he knew that his master was a harsh man, who reaped where he did not sow and gathered where he did not sow and gathered where he did not scatter, but the master expected the slave would have invested his money with the bankers, and after he returned, would have received his own money with interest.
