Didn’t you afraid from the king’s nose? Solomon said to the bee.

Oh, my dear king, I am a small little bee, I don’t know how to distinguish between a flower and a nose; I’m so stupid, the nose of the king had a smell like a flower. The king was so angry, but a small laugh was inside of him. He said to the bee: what else you want to say, you small and reckless animal.
And the bee said to Solomon with a lot of courage and insolence: maybe one day will be able to help to my king with a small recompense. The angry of the king was bigger and bigger so he said to her: get out of here, or I will … if you won’t!

Solomon laughed and laughed and laughed and sent all the bees from the palace. He put a cream on his nose and his nose came back to life. He forgot the small bee because like always we keep on forgetting to small things….
But the story, my friends, is far from to be over; next time we will meet the queen of Sheba and Solomon and we will see what will be the recompense of the bee, the small bee, to the great king!

King Solomon was sleeping in his bad, under the fig tree, in order to sleep in the noon, while is two guards were standing near to him waving with their hand-held fan in order to take the flies out of him.
A small bee didn’t pay attention to the guards and the fan ad she flied into Solomon’s nose and bite him there. He woke up, jumped from his bad, and his nose was burning (double meaning), red like pomegranate and the pain was sharp like a knife. Solomon wanted to kill her so that she will suffer like he did, but the bee took her wings and ran away.
His nose was bigger and bigger from one moment to another and he became like a zucchini, so what did he do?]

He commended to take all the bees and the mosquitoes and the entire little insects that had the small wings from all over his kingdom to come to his palace.
All the small insect was afraid from the mouth of Solomon and from his nose as well and even more after he mad them quiet by saying to them: Sh! Quiet!
Solomon said to the insect: who was the criminal who did this evil thing to my nose? And the nose became bigger and bigger until a small bee came to the king and said: I did the sin, I am the small sinner, I am with your hand…

What will happen to her?

The vulture took the poor one to a big tower, he carried him all the way and the tower
Surprisingly was the same tower that the daughter of Solomon has been….
The vulture started to eat the flesh of the carcass in the morning and the daughter, who just woke up, went to the top of the tower in order to get some fresh air to her body and soul. She saw the poor one and she asked him: where are you from?
The poor one that was from Akko told her where he was from, they spoke and spoke, the daughter took him into her room, gave him new garments, new soul that was clean and pure now to all. They fell in love soul to soul, a love that no one saw and no one will see, the poor one showed her wisdom to her and they decided to get married with the attendance of God and the two angels Michael and Gabriel.
After a while the daughter saw that she is going to have a baby soon and not just she saw but also the guards of her father.

They sailed quickly to Solomon, who came back to see what the destiny send to his daughter, or what The Lord did with the destiny.
Even Solomon the king, the wisest person of all human-being realized that you can’t run away from your destiny in the end….

Some says that you can’t run away from your destiny, goral in Hebrew. Today we are going to meet a story, some say it’s a legend, but we can say this about everything in the old ages, don’t we?
King Solomon wanted to see who will be his son-in-law, so he looked at the zodiac and saw that a poor one would be the husband of his daughter!


In order to prevent the marriage he decided to take his little girl and he put her in a tower with 70 guards who kept her from the destiny. Solomon wanted to see if the lord will do something or that he will able to win the destiny …
The poor one meanwhile was so poor that he had to find himself a place to spend the night. Walking around he saw, barefoot in the field, a carcass of a bull lying there and he decided to go to sleep between her ribs in order to warm up a little bit…
A vulture in the sky went to look for the daily dinner and he saw the carcass of the bull lying there, without knowing that the poor person is lying inside.

What will happen with the poor person, will the vulture have more dinner to eat?
Next time we will see the end of this lovely story…
