particular situation in a worldly kingdom. A king was collecting money owed to him by some of
his servants. One servant owed the king a lot of money but claimed he was unable to pay the

The king ordered that the servant be sold with his valuable things, wife and children to
make up the payment. On hearing this, the servant knelt down before the king and begged for
mercy. He asked the king to be patient, so he could have time to pay back the money. The king

servant fell at his feet and said, "Have_6_with me and I will pay your money back!" However,
