Lesson Second

On our first lesson we have had that amazing legend left hanging near to its climax. Well, we are happy to RIVISE it.

RI-VISION

Angabos, a stranger in Axum and the father of Saba appeared in the Land of Axum and destroyed the monstrous snake that troubled the people of Axum for years. And his daughter Saba becomes a Queen of Axumite kingdom as per the agreement Angabos made with the King of Axum.

•       Queen Saba ruled many years over Axum and stayed virgin.

•       Saba also known as Makeda had a very close friend and servant. No secret, it was said, had ever been kept untold between the two.

•       Once a merchant returned to Axum and he gave the queen prolonged descriptions and explanations about the people of the land he had been to and most importantly about the Wise King Solomon of Israel.

•       He told them interesting stories about the king and his unusual practises. He told her that the king sleeps while his eyes are open and when he is awake he closes his eyes but he can see. Stories of such kind inspired her to leave to Isarael.

•       Carrying so many offerings Queen of Sheba (Saba) and her friend-like servant took their journey to Israel. Protocol guardian of the palace opened the gate of the compound so that they may enter. As her leg touched the door frame of the gate that donkey hoof torn away from Saba’s foot.

•       Solomon wanted to sleep with Saba at the very moment he looked at her but she refused when he told her. A ‘Great Conspiracy’ between the King and his cook was made early that night. After having their pleasing dinner with the king they had so much wine. At mid-night they could not resist their thirst for the dinner they had had high amount of salt.

•       The water pot was no longer where it should have been for Solomon intentionally placed it in his own bedroom. Looking for the water pot both Saba and her servant were caught in his room and had to sleep with him that night.

•       He said to her, ‘you have stolen my water and I have caught you at once. What do you have that is worth a glass of water than what I asked you by day?’ She had no answer for his question and he slept with her.
