Name Date

Read the Story

Mordecai heard of Haman's plan. He was very sad. He cried out loud. All the Jews were sad too.

Mordecai sent word to Esther. He asked her to go to the king. But no one could go to the king if he did not call. It was not safe.

Mordecai said maybe she was made queen for this very time. Esther said the Jews should not eat for three days. Then she would go. Esther was brave!
