Sample three (jealousy begoth hatred)
VI
The next morning, the queen called her first son and advised him to let the spirit of love be with him forever, and that he should know that the spirit of love in him was greater than the spirit of hatred that was in the world. She also gave him her blessing. She blessed him and washed him with rain water on his head, hands, and legs.
“Mama, can I come in?“ Ayana asked, as she entered her mother’s room with some oil she made from coconut.
“Yes, you can come in my daughter,” she answered, as she cleaned her first son with a towel. “Let me oil you with this oil. I made it from coconut. It is by the power of the Lord’s making, that water lives inside the coconut,” she said. She moved towards Wisdom with a bottle of oil in her left hand and her right hand deep inside the bottle.
“We both came into the world on the same day, now you have given this kingdom to him,” Power said angrily to the king.
“It is true that you both entered this world on the same day, but not the same time. Remember that,” the king answered his second son.
”I always had the authority over him right from our mother’s womb. I was the one in control before we entered into this world. I was the one who sent him to go find out what the world looked like and now he is betraying me by taking my rightful position.” He was talking without knowing that his sister, Desta, had entered their father’s palace.
“He did not betray you brother, it is the law of nature that made him what he is today. You should be happy because we all have dominion over everything that lives in this world. With your gift, you can help him rule this kingdom happily,” she said.
She moved to the king’s hands and the king embraced his second daughter, saying, “You are right my daughter. Power, my son, your brother being the next of kin does not mean that you will be his slave; you have your duties and roles to play too. This kingdom will be a very big kingdom and food will never be dried up in this garden. All the natural resources you see here today will feed the world in time to come.” He concluded the topic with him by saying those that claim to be wise are always foolish in the sight of His Majesty.
They all ate together that night and, as usual, the king told them a story. He told them the story of the lion that was born in the midst of sheep. He told them that the lion was saved by the mother of the sheep when her mother died. He also told them how they went out to look for food when they were hungry and on their way, they saw a big lion standing on the mountain before the place they hoped to get their food. The sheep’s advice to the lion was to run as they ran away to there home. On their way home, the lion asked them, “Why are we running from that animal on the mountain?“
”That animal is our enemy,” the mother of the sheep answered the lion.
“During the next days they were thirsty. They decided to go drink water from the stream around them.” The king told his family that on their way, they saw the same lion across the stream where they were going to drink water. They all ran away including the lion that lived with them.
“Did the lion try to chase them?” Ayana asked.
“ No, he did not see them,” the king replied.
“ Lion eat sheep. What did that lion, who was living with sheep, feed on since lions do not eat grass?“ Desta asked the king.
“The lion in my story never ate food. That was why he was very hungry. He only drank water. Since his mother died, he never ate,” the king answered Desta’s question.
“ Where were we?” the king asked to see if his family was with him.
“ They all ran away when they saw the same lion across the stream,” Wisdom answered the king.
“Good,” the king said.
The queen gave them some fruit she had fetched from the farm the prevous day, saying, “Let’s refresh our mouth.” They all took from it and ate.
The king continued his story. He told them that on the lion’s way, he stopped and asked himself, ”I’m very thirsty while I’m running. If I don’t drink water, I will die. And if I go to that stream to get water, that enemy may kill me. It is better I die there,” the lion said, as he turned back to go to the stream. When he arrived at the stream, he drank without looking up. By the time he was done, he saw two heads that looked alike on the surface of the water he just drank from. When he looked at his back, he discovered that the lion was standing right behind him. They played with each other. He later discovered that the lion was his father. He told him how his mother died when she was giving birth to him and how he went to search for food that day. “Before I came back from my hunting, the sheep had taken you away to their hiding place. That was why you grew up with them,“ the lion said to his son. The king ended his story.
They all enjoyed the story, and the king told them that a king is a king from birth. “So, I hope that we all learned from this story.” They said good night to each other as they went to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, the king called his first children. He took them to his palace. They entered his strange room and he took two boxes out and placed them on the floor and said, “These boxes are the gift I reserve for both of you since the day you both came into this world. I have kept them for a day a like this,” he told them. He asked them to choose a box and that what soever they choose would be their luck.
He covered their eyes and asked them to take any of the boxes, and that whatever they chose was theirs. They both agreed with their father and did as he said.
When they opened their box, the first son saw three words inside his box: knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. The second son also saw three words inside his box: power, science, and technology.
When they showed it to their father, he told them that those were their gifts, the gifts they possessed. The Lord had blessed them with those gifts and nobody could change it.
He also took them to his secret room. He showed them a pot of oil. “The pot of oil has never been used since the Lord revealed it to me. This is where our everlasting success comes from,“ he told the twin brothers. “This pot of oil must be used the right way and for good purposes. Whatever you ask the Lord with this oil rubbed on your forehead, must surely come to pass,” he told them. “But only Wisdom will have the right and access to this oil because he is the king after me. He will use it on behalf of this kingdom.
From that hour, Power planned to kill his brother and steal the pot of oil away from him.
He decided to go for an adventure in the forest. During his adventure, he discovered the longest river in the world. “I will cross to the other side of this river and build myself a kingdom. After that, I will come to steal the pot of oil from my twin brother,” he thought, as he wandered along the river.

Wisdom slept with his sister, Ayana, she got pregnant, and gave birth to a boy. They named him Berhanu, ( light). The king and his family celebrated the birth of Wisdom’s first son.
“The Lord has blessed us today with light; he shall be the conquering lion that will set his people free. He shall see things before they happen. He has four eyes: two for this physical world and the other two for the spiritual world. He is very close to the Lord because he is full of love,” the king said with happiness.
“How did you know all that? My son is just one day in this world,“ Ayana asked the king as she played with her son.
“The smile. Can’t you tell from his lips? I can tell from his eyes; the eyes never lie,” the king answered.
The boy grew up and became the warrior of their kingdom. He was a farmer and a shepherd. When he was seven years old, he went farming with his grandfather.
“ Grandpa, please tell me a story,” the boy asked the king. The king told him that before he told him any story, he must promise to always practice and show love every day of his life. The boy promised, looking at his grandfather in his eyes.
“I can see sincerity inside your eyes, my son; you are the light of this great kingdom. The Lord has made us to dominate. There is power in your eyes, but use them for the spirit of love,” the king advised his grandson as they rode from their house on a narrow road that lead to the place they farmed.
“I will tell you a story. This story is about love and hatred,” the king told the boy. The boy paid attention to what the king was saying. “Love and hatred are twins, born the same day, in the spiritual world,” the king said to his grandson. The boy listened carefully from word to word of the story.
The king told the boy how the maker of all things made every thing and decided to make man in his image after his likeness.
“When the Lord gave man dominion here on earth, the spirit of hatred started to get jealous of man,” he told the boy.
“ Why was the spirit of hatred jealous of man?” the boy asked the king.
“Because man can possess the spirit at will, but spirit cannot possess the man at will,” the king replied..
The king told him that the spirit of hatred was called that name from the day the Lord made mankind. “The spirit of love is the first son of the Lord. The Lord has decided to use it to protect us from the proposed attack of the spirit of hatred,” the king continued his story.
He told the boy the reason why the Lord asked mankind to choose love. “The Lord asked us to choose the spirit of love so that we and our descendants may live in everlasting peace.” The king jumped down from his horse and helped his grand son to get down. The boy told the king that he would never give the spirit of hatred a chance to attack him. The king was glad when he heard it.
The spirit of love is at peace with mankind and the maker, while the spirit of hatred is in pain, looking for a house to share his pain with him. The king concluded his story, as he cut down some coconuts to give to the boy.
“Today we shall concentrate on fruits,” the king told the boy. They gathered enough fruit, the climbed onto their horses, and rode back home. The clouds were dark. “It will rain tonight,” the king said to the boy, as the rode back home. The king advised the boy to learn how to read natural signs.
The next morning, the queen called her first son and advised him to let the spirit of love be with him forever, and that he should know that the spirit of love in him was greater than the spirit of hatred that was in the world. She also gave him her blessing. She blessed him and washed him with rain water on his head, hands, and legs.
