Briefly summarize the parable of the sower from Mark 4.

A farmer sows a seed in a field, the see falls on paths and birds eat it. Some seeds will fall where rocks are, so not all fall on soil. When they fall on rocks they will grow quickly but the sun will dry them out. There is not enough soil and they will die. Some seeds can grow a lot of weeds and that stops the growth of the plant and they will die. But many seeds fall on good ground. Those seeds will grow well, and the farmer will be able to harvest them. The farmer is Jesus, the seed is good news. Different places the seeds land are the people, and how they grow is how people react. 
