Parable 7: Bridesmaids
There were bridesmaids five who were prudent
with lamps prepared having sufficient
spare oil at the ready
for lights to be steady.
The groom turned up late but was jubilant.
The other five bridesmaids were foolish.
Without oil their lamps to replenish,
they asked for some more
from the five at the door,
who said 'No!' and left them in anguish.
Matthew 25.1-13
