The document discusses Jesus' statement that his followers are "the salt of the earth." It provides context from the Bible on what Jesus meant by this metaphor. Jesus used salt to represent how his followers should influence the world around them, just as salt adds flavor to food. The expression now refers to good, hardworking people who improve their communities. The document also references a story about a rat named Remy who dreams of being a chef, despite facing prejudice, and notes it can be hard to make an impact when feeling like an outsider.
