the Purim story with some new insight.

Long ago, in a far away land there lived a king and his queen. The king was rich and powerful and his queen was beautiful and strong-minded.
(are you guessing where this is going?) I will go on just a little
more…the king decided to have a big feast to celebrate his new kingdom…
after all… ruling over 127 countries cannot be taken lightly…this king
was young and a little full of himself, and for 180 days he was doing
nothing but celebrating his greatness and wealth. One evening he has
decided to ask one of his servants to bring his queen to him wearing
nothing but her crown (I think it was the wine talking) he wanted to
show off not only his wealth but also his beautiful and rare
possession. Well...guess what, he didn’t expect it either… she
refused…wouldn’t you?
