David and Israel were arguing over who would be a better king and one thing is for sure: Arthur would never be king. Arthur was the youngest son and he was also everyone's favorite. When the royal family would take walks through the village, all the girls liked Arthur for his kind heart. David and Israel would boast about themselves and their riches every time they went out and the village didn't really like them or their egos. David and Israel were known for picking on Arthur and they would do anything to ensure that Arthur won't be king.
The three boys could agree that these seeds were not working. David and Israel decided to go to the flower store. "Give me the most beautiful and greatest plant you have" declared David. Unfortunately, David didn't have money to pay for the plant, but David continued to tell the employee that he will be king and when he is, he will pay the store back for the plant that helped him become king. Israel had the same exact experience, but he decided to go elsewhere for his plant. Israel also didn't have money, but told the employee that when he becomes king, he'll pay the store back the money he owes. Arthur, however, was honest and had a pure heart. "Father told me to plant this seed so that is what I must do. It's been 3 weeks and nothing has been growing, but I will continue to wait," thought Arthur.
The time finally came for King Linus to judge the plants. David stepped up and showed off his great plant rich with green leaves. Israel pushed him so that his plant would get the attention since it was taller and greater than David's. As they began to argue, King Linus asked Arthur to show him his plant. Arthur stepped up to show everyone his empty pot. "FATHER! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! YOU SHOULD BE OFFENDED!" yelled David as Arthur showed him his empty flower pot. "I did what you told me to do, father. I took the soil and pot you gave me and I planted the seed. I watered it every day and I made sure it had plenty of sunlight. I don't understand why it didn't grow. I'm sorry if I offended you or disappointed you. I tried my best." The king, with tears in his eyes, declared Arthur as the new king. "My dear boy, I am certain that you will be a great king. You see, the seeds I gave you and your brothers were boiled, so there was no way that those seeds would have had the chance to grow. You took responsibility in taking care of a seed that wouldn't grow and you were honest to stay true to the seed. Those are good qualities to have as a king."
Israel and David were furious telling the king that they owe money to the flower shops. "If you need money, you must refer to King Arthur." Arthur, because he was so humble, decided to give money to his brothers despite the way they treated him throughout the years. He knew that everyone deserves forgiveness and a second chance.
