Original Parable

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

He told them another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.'

Reference: Matthew 13:31-32

Modern Retelling

The Tiny Start

In a small town, a woman started a charity to help the homeless by gathering a few donations. It began with just a few people, but as word spread, more volunteers joined, and the organization grew large, helping hundreds of people every month. What started as a small act of kindness blossomed into something much larger, reminding everyone that even the smallest actions can have a huge impact over time, much like a mustard seed growing into a large tree.
