1. BEAUTIFUL QUEEN ESTHER

2. There was once a beautiful girl named Esther. When her father and mother died, Esther's cousin Mordecai brought her up. She always honoured and obeyed him. They were both Jewish.

3. Later the king held a huge Banquet for princes from all over the world. He asked the queen to come and show her beauty but she refused. Then the king took her crown and she was no longer queen.

4. A search was made for a new queen.The king chose Esther as his wife. She did not tell the king that she Is Jewish as her cousin had told her not to.

5. Mordecai, One day overheard two people planning to kill the king. Mordecai sent a warning to the king. They were both hanged, and Mordecai's name was written in the record book.

6. Second in command to the king was a rich man called Haman. Everybody bowed when Haman passed by. Except one man, which is Mordecai.Who worship only the living God.

7. Haman hated Mordecai so much he decided to kill him and all the Jews in Persia. He tricked the king into signing a law that at a certain time every Jew in the kingdom would be killed.

8. It was a terrible law. All Jews prayed and fasted for 3 days. But remember God had made Esther queen. And she is Jewish, would she keep he secret from the king? Or, would she risk death to try and save her people?

9. God gave Esther a clever idea. She invited the king and Haman to a banquet. There the king promised her anything she asked.

10. That night the king couldn't sleep. Reading the court records he saw that Mordecai had never been rewarded for saving his life.

11. Next morning, the king asked Haman, "What shall be done for the man the king delights to honour?" Haman was delighted. He thought the king meant him.

12. Haman said:"Dress the man in the king's robe and crown." And Sit him on the king' horse and he will be Driven Across the City.

13. Pointing to Haman, in the party. Esther told the king all about Haman's wicked plot. "Hang him!" the king said. He was hanged in the same place,he was arranging for Mordecai.

14. Then the king passed another law allowing the Jews to defend themselves. They were saved! Mordecai became second in command to the king.

15. And all the Jews rejoiced and gave gifts to one another. Even today, Jewish people remember how God saved them through beautiful Queen Esther.
