"There were 2 men who lived in the same city; one was a very rich sheikh, who owned many flocks of sheep, while the other was very poor and owned nothing, except one little female lamb. He kept the lamb as his pet. He fed her, let her sleep in his bed with him, and let his children play with, and pretty much treated the little lamb as his own little girl too.
'One day, a traveller came to visit the sheik, to have dinner with him. Rather than have one of his own thousands of sheep served up for his guest, the sheikh came to the poor man's home, and took the little lamb away from him and his children & slaughtered it, to serve it up to his guest."
The end.

How did the rich sheik know about the poor guy's lamb? Ask the prophet Nathan that. He was the one who told that parable to King David, in order to trick him into being his own judge (regarding having Uriah killed, so that he can marry Bathsheba). |

You told the middle of the story rather than the whole one. |

Got it. You told the middle of the story rather than the whole one. I know I did. I wanted to see how many people knew where that parable came from (& perhaps, even add their own commentary or POV about it). |
