By: Gertrude Landa (1919)
This story had a few main characters followed by a few side characters.
Main characters: King of Egypt, Moses, and Princess Bathia.
Throughout the story, the main focus was on the boy, who was names Moses. He was found floating down a river and was cared for by a family of royalty.
The plot of the story was a bit up and down. At times the boy was loved and played with, and at other times, some resented him.
As the story went on, the King would interact more and more with Moses but didn't quite know how he felt about him. Princess Bathia would encourage her father to interact and get to know Moses more, but the King hesitated.
There was a lot of pressure put on the boy to make a decision towards the end of the story. He had to choose between a dish full of gold and jewels, or a dish full of steaming coals. Whichever one he chose would symbolize the "intentions" that he had.
This story was told in a rather different way than you might have heard before. It was focused mainly on Moses and his relationship with the king.
