شرح للأطفال
Imagine two kids at a lemonade stand. One kid, let's call him Timmy, just sits around and dreams about selling lemonade without doing anything. The other kid, Sally, works hard every day setting up the stand and talking to customers. By the end of the summer, Sally has a full piggy bank, while Timmy has nothing. That's what this verse is saying, but about grown-ups.
