the parable of the app pricing

Then jesus-called-iphone told them this parable:

"A master gave each of his servants one app, and said, 'Taketh this app, and maketh me some shekels.' And the first servant went out and sold his app to people for 100 minas. But this was too high, and few in the land purchased the app.

"And the second servant sold his app for 50 minas. And the app sold very well.

"And the third servant gave his app away for free, but made sure the app didn't perform at its highest. For, instead, he charged 10 minas a month to have full access to the app.

"And the master promoted the third servant, for he was particularly shrewd. Let him who has ears hear."

One of the disciples asked jesus, "Teacher, is it not foolish to give something away for free and hope that people will pay for more?" But jesus-called-iphone said, "Truly, you have much to learn about religion and consumerism."
