Author: Robert

A King wanted to have a great dinner feast, so he invited many people to come. When the dinner was ready, he set out his servants to say to those invited, “Come, everything is now ready for the great feast.” But one by one, they all began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have purchased a field and must go to look at it; please excuse me.” And another person said, “I have to go buy 5 horses. Please excuse me.” And another said, “I just got married to a woman, and therefore I cannot come.”
The servant went back to the King and told him that nobody wanted to come to the great feast, so the King was angry.
The King then told his servants, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring me the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame.' The servant did this and told the King, “Sir, we did what you said and still there is room.” The master then ordered the servant, “Go out to the highways and go far away and make people come in, so my home will be filled. But, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.“
