A King once had a slave
who, in all
circumstances said:
"My king, do not be
discouraged because
everything God does is
perfect, no mistakes".
One day, they went
hunting and a wild
animal attacked the
King.
The slave managed to
kill the animal but
couldn't prevent his
majesty from losing a
finger.
Furious and without
showing gratitude, the
king said:
"If God was good, I
wouldn't have been
attacked and lost one
finger!"
The slave replied,
"Despite all these
things, I can only tell
you that God is good
and everything he does
is perfect, He is never
wrong!"
Out raged by the
response, the king
ordered the arrest of
his slave.
Later, he left for
another hunt and was
captured by savages,
who made human
sacrifices.
In the altar, the
savages found out that
the king didn't have one
finger in place so he
was released because
he was considered not
"complete" to be
offered to the gods.
On his return to the
palace, he authorised
the release of his slave
saying:
"My dear God was really
good to me! I was
almost killed but for lack
of a single finger I was
let go! But I have a
question:
'If God is so good why
did he allow me put you
in jail'".
He replied:
"My king, if I had gone
with you, I would have
been sacrificed for you
because I have no
missing finger."
