Can anybody explain this parable in plain English.

Luke 16:1-7

The steward had wasted the goods so basically he was fired. The steward then goes and gives his masters customers a huge discount in what they owed him.

What happens next? The master commends the unjust steward for having done wisely. You would of thought the master would be mad because the steward was being dishonest with his goods.

Luke 16:8-13

Just wondering if anyone had some insight on this parable. I don't see why the guy commended him for being dishonest with his goods.
