Luke 15:14-19 (ANIV)
14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no-one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.’

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Notice the blue bird in every picture, ever present with the younger son, no matter what situation he is in. The bird represents God/Jesus who is with each of us where ever we go.

Some commentators suggest that the original word for the “pods” means the fruit of the ceratonia or charub tree, which grows plentifully in Syria. This kind of pulse was feed to pigs.
