Once
upon a time the Persia
was ruled by the king named Ahasuerus. He loved his wife vashti very much. She
was very beautiful. But he didn’t have his queen vashti any more. He felt sad
and lonely. By seeing his loneliness his aides made a plan “That every girl had
to come to the palace for 1 year and get beauty treatments and then at the end
of that year the king would select a new queen from those girls. King Ahasuerus
attracted by this idea and he thought this was a fine plan. So he put the plan
into effect.
Esther
was one of the girls that had to go to the palace. Her parents had died. So she
was living with her cousin Mordechai. But esther was a Jewish girl. Before
going to the palace Mordechai told esther not to tell anyone that she was a
jew. She was treated so well at the palace but she missed living with mordecai.
Hegai was the one in charge of Esther he gave here special food,
he gave her 7 maids he gave her the best room in the palace. He liked Esther
very much and he did what he could to make her stay there the best. Mordechai
would come and see her everyday.
Finally it was Esther’s turn to see the king the year was
up. She took Hagai’s advice and dressed the way he had suggested. All the other
girls mentioned how beautiful she was when she was in the palace in the throne
room. These the king was sitting on his throne. She walked up to the throne and
bowed low to the king. The king was so taken with her beauty, he put queen vashtis
crown immediately on her head. He announced Esther was the new queen. The king
was so happy, he decided to throw a party to show everyone his new queen.
One day when Mordechai was at his palace he heard two of the
guards. “Teresh and Bigthan” planning to assassinate the king. He quickly told
to Queen Esther. Immediately the queen hurried to the king to tell him the
news.
How do you know this, my queen? the king asked “Mordechai
heard them talking and he told me as soon as he could,” Esther said.
“Thank him for me,” said the king.
King Ahasuerus sent several guards to find teresh and
bigthan. Still, Esther had not told anyone that she was a jew. She had been
told to keep the secret by mordechai. She always did as he asked. She did not
reveal the secret anywhere to any one.
