King’s Order - True Friendship


King’s Order - True Friendship

Once in a Kingdom. a man named Liam protested against the King. King was arrogant he didn’t like anyone who would go against him so he ordered his soldiers to arrest and hang that man.

Liam didn't resist and sad, "My Lord, I will gladly accept your punishment but please grant me one last wish.

Please give me some time, Before dying I just want to visit my home and see my children one last time.

King refused, saying, “No. I can’t allow it. There is no guarantee that once you leave you will be back.

Just then a man from the crowd came forward and said, "My Lord, please arrest me instead of him as a guarantee, and if he doesn’t come back that you can hang me instead of him.

King was Surprised because he had never seen a man who would offer his own life for someone else.

King asked him, “Why are you ready to take place of this person?“

That man replied, “My Lord, he is my best friend and I trust him. He will be back once he meets his family.”

King agreed and allowed Liam to leave for his home. He was given time of six hours as total that he would be needed ta go and back from his house was at most five hours.

Liam left for his house. He met his family. He still had enough time to reach the King’s palace before the time of his hanging.

Liam wanted to reach as soon as possible but on his way, he fell from his horse and got his horse and he himself got hurt. Because of this, he got delayed. On another side, at the palace, as time passed. His friend was being held and prepared for hanging. His friend was standing on board to be hanged. The friend was happy to give his life for his friend.

Just a moment before the lever was to be pulled to hang his friends, Liam came running, panting fell on the ground. Liam shouted, “Please stop... I am back. Please release my friend”.

His friend replied, “Liam... you go back..... I would be happy to take your place and die here.”

Listening to this Liam went close to his friend and said, “My friend thank you for your help. Now please go. This is my punishment and I should face it.”

Seeing this King was overwhelmed by their friendship and said, “I forgive you ... your friendship made a deep impact on me. You both are free to go.”

 

MORAL: A true friend is one who trusts you always and stays by your side. True friendship can even avert many problems.

Dynamic Bats

Bats look like a small brown mouse. They have a fox like muzzle large ears and a neck, which is short and well covered with fur. They are flying mammals. They can fly but they are not birds. They do not have feathers on their wings like birds Instead, they have double layers of skin stretched over their bones There are nearly a thousand different kinds of bats which vary in size. The largest bat has been recorded as having a wing span of over 150 cm. But most bats are small creatures with rather large wings. A vampire bat's body is only about 9 cm long with a wing span of up to 18 cm. Most bats are nocturnal creatures, which means that they are active only at night. They sleep during the day and come out at night in search of food Bats hang upside down by their fret when they rest or sleep. They often live in caves where there may be thousands of them crowded together on the walls and ceiling. Smaller bat colonies of up to twelve bats may live together inside a hollow cave. The...

World Asteroid Day

What Is International Asteroid Day? International Asteroid Day is a global event dedicated to educating the public about asteroids, their impact on Earth, and the ways we can protect our planet from potential asteroid threats. It serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and scientific advancement in monitoring the skies.   Why Is June 30 an Asteroid Day? June 30th was chosen to mark International Asteroid Day because it commemorates the Tunguska event, the most significant asteroid impact in recent history, which devastated over 2,000 square kilometers of forest in Siberia on this day in 1908. On this day in 1908, a massive explosion occurred in Siberia, believed to be caused by an asteroid or comet exploding in the atmosphere. This event released the energy equivalent of up to 15 million tons of TNT, flattening around 2,000 square kilometers of forest and knocking down 80 million trees. Despite occurring in a remote area, the explosion had global atmospheric eff...

Lazarus, Come Out!

Heroes in the Bible:  Lazarus, Come Out! Scripture Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:25 Have you ever wondered why God’s timing feels so different from ours? When Jesus learned that Lazarus was sick, He didn’t rush to his side. Instead, He waited two days before going to Bethany, where Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Why would Jesus delay when His friend was in such desperate need? Jesus’ response reminds us that God’s plans are always purposeful. “This sickness,” He said, “is not unto death, but for the glory of God.” What situations in your life feel delayed, but may be an opportunity for God’s glory to shine? When Jesus arrived, Martha expressed her faith, saying, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” Jesus answered her with one of the most profound declarati...
