Crown her king

Manada, thy kingdom come.

       In the days of king Shimon and Queen Sheba, the land of Manada was rich and beautiful in the gifts of God's providence.

      The hills were crowned with majestic trees supporting the fruit-laden branches of the vine. The vast, garden-like plains was clothed with verdure and sweet with the fragrance of a thousand flowers.

      The fruits of the land were in great variety and almost without limit. Gold, silver and precious stones existed in abundance.
   
      On this very land lived the most beautiful family nature has ever destined together. Wise King Shimon was married to beautiful Queen Sheba and God bestowed upon them twins.

      Handsome Prince Shilloh and adorable princess Sheila, the most fascinating treasures in the land of Manada. They lived happily and were loved and cherished by all the citizens of the land.

      One rainy morning, princess Sheila woke up to the deafening noise of guns and the clashing of iron swords. It turned out the Palace has been raided by commander Shingle and his army.

    Commander Shingle is King Shimon's older brother. He was a giant, a man of great stature and strength, renowned for knowledge, skillfull in devising the most cunning and wonderful works.

    But his crave for power and his guilt in giving loose rein to iniquity was in proportion to his skills and mental ability.

    After being banished from the Palace for sexually harassing a maiden, he also lost the throne of Manada and every privilege entitled to him as a prince of the land.

    But his younger brother, the now king, Shimon, being a wise and compassionate man of valour, made a wish on the day he was to be crowned king and sole ruler of Manada.

    He made a wish that his brother be forgiven and given the role of commander. Little did he know he was digging his own grave and maybe that of his family and citizens too.
