King Egbert Needs Help
Audio version here
One day, King Egbert was in his castle garden.
"Oh, no!" he said. "There are lots of weeds in my garden. I need help."
So, he started to weed the garden.
Very soon, he was really tired.
"This is hard work," he said. "Who will help me?"
King Egbert asked some people from the castle to help him.
He asked Ken the cook.
"I cannot help you, today," Ken said. "I have to make my favorite food."
King Egbert then asked Sid the soldier.
"I cannot help you today," Sid said. "I have to clean my uniform."
"But I need your help to weed the garden," King Egbert said.
"We cannot help you, today. We can help you tomorrow" they both replied.
"Tomorrow will be too late," said the king.
So King Egbert worked all by himself. No one helped him.
When he was finished, his garden looked lovely.
"I love my garden," Egbert said. "All that hard work has helped me."
Later that day, when King Egbert was reading his Bible, he read a story about Jesus. Some people had promised to follow Jesus, but when He asked them to join Him, they had other things to do.
"We cannot come with you now. We are too busy. We can follow you later."
Jesus said, "If you want to follow me, do it today. Tomorrow will be too late."
"That is just like me," said King Egbert. "I needed help today, but Ken and Sid would not come."
We all need to follow Jesus today. If we are too busy, it may be too late. If we have something else to do, we may make Jesus sad. We need to help Him today.
