The story that Jesus was telling about the two sons. One didn't want to do what the father was telling him but did it anyways and the other one said that he would but never followed through with it. What's that saying about how the fruit of a person shows the finished product or something of the sort?

Is this the story?

Mat 21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
Mat 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
Mat 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Mat 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Mat 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

I'm not sure what your asking...
would you re-word that?

Yes it's the story and I was trying to word it into the fact that one of the sons in this story is saying one thing but doing the opposite. So is the other son, but in one case one son is being responsible and obeying his father and the other son is not even though he said that he would.

I just heard something about a bad person produces bad fruit or something. I don't remember what the whole entire thing was. :/
