Englishstory12.blogspot.com - King
Solomon was so wise and just that
God gave him mastery over all spirits
and demons, as well as the whole
of the animal kingdom. Now the
Queen of Sneba wanted to know if the tales of Solomon's
extraordinary powers were true, so she sent him an envoy with a
vase.
“Can
you guess,” asked the envoy, “what is inside this vase?” A spirit whispered
the answer Into King Solomon's ear
and he replied, “Two precious stones, a pearl and an
emerald.”
“Look
carefully,” said the envoy. “There is a minute hole in each
stone. Can
you pass a thread through these holes?” A
demon told the king the name of the best jewel cutter in the whole
world, but even he could not perform such a feat, and it looked as though
it was, in fact, impossible to pass
a thread through such tiny holes.
Eventually
there came a small voice from the ground. “May I help your majesty?”
It was a tiny worm, which took
the thread in its mouth, entered the
hole in the pearl, emerged from the
other side, and then did the same with the emerald.
When
she heard of this, the Queen of
Sheba realised that no ruler could stand against a king who
had not only demons and spirits, but even worms at his command. She went at
once to pay homage to King
Solomon.
