King Achashveirosh made a big feast for all the people in Persia. He invited everyone to see all the expensive and rich things he had in his palace. There was a Jewish Leader named Mordechai who told the Jewish people not to join the party since there was food that wasnt kosher. Many Jews listened, yet there were some Jews who couldnt resist the temptations of going the Kings Palace and feast.
Achashveirosh told his messengers to call his wife Vashti so he can show her off to all the people at the party since she was very beautiful. She went to the mirror to give herself some last touches before she would be on her way, when she noticed in horror that she had these big red hot pimples all over her face.
She then looked down to see a frightful tail growing out of her back. She quickly turned to the messengers and sharply responded, "Tell the King I will not come." The King could not digest Vashti's answer. He couldnt beleive his Queen would refuse his request. His advisor Haman said, "Your Highness, Vashti should be gotten rid of. She cannot deny the King's request." And so he did. Vashti was taken away.
The next day, he woke up asking for Vashti and remembered the horrible advise Haman gave him to get rid of his Queen Vashti.
He couldnt be without a Queen. He thought of a plan how to get a new Queen. He called all the girls in Persia and told them they all need to dress up and he would choose his new queen.
(Here, the boys are the judges and the girls are all dressed up waiting to be the chosen one.)
Mordechai saved the King's life since he heard two servants of the King trying to get rid of him because they wanted to take over and become king. The King was so grateful to Mordechai for what he did and wrote down that good deed in the big book in which he writes the good things people do for him.
Haman walked around with an idol around his neck. Wherever he went he made sure people bowed down to him. Mordechai refused to do so. This made Haman really upset. He went to Achashveirosh with a plan to get rid of the Jewish nation. The king agreed not knowing which nation it was. When Mordechai found out about this plan, he quickly went to Esther she must be brave and go tell the King that Haman was planning to get rid of her nation the Jews. She went to the King's chambers and all she asked was that the King and Haman come to a party she has prepared for them.
At the party, Achashveirosh asked what Esther wanted and all she said was that they come agian for another party she will prepare for them. They agreed.
