The Way To The King

It was a lazy Sunday.

You didn’t have much planned, so you decided to go for a walk.

You walked past a chicken coop, “Hello, I’m [child’s name].” you say!

The chickens kept pecking at the grain on the ground. Peck, peck.

Bye, chickens!

Up ahead, you see a field of horses.

Excitedly you hurry over, waving, “My name is [child’s name], would you take me for a ride?”

The horses neigh and trot away.

You turn away from the horses and carry on.

Ahead you see a cat!

You bow as you pass a cat by, “How do you do? I’m [child’s name].” you say!

Without pausing for a moment the cat continues to lick her paw.

Ahead, the village market appears.

People are hustling and bustling.

Some going, others coming.

You pass a baker pulling out a tray of delicious smelling pastries. You say, “Those look great. My name’s [child’s name]. May I please try one?”

The shop is too busy. He doesn’t hear you.

Turn after turn you’ve made through the market. What an experience that was!

Ready for a rest you look for a place to sit.

There’s a garden through the gates ahead.

What beautiful trees!

What splendid bushes!

This is a place fit for a king.

You keep walking and suddenly, you’re inside.

This is a magnificent courtroom.

Sunlight streams through brilliant stained glass.

There’s a court of people sitting in high wooden benches and right ahead, there’s a man with a crown on his head.

A hush falls over the room.

The man turns his eyes towards you.

“Hello, [child’s name]. It’s good to see you. Welcome home.”
