Peter and the Snow White Dove

By John Stephens

Peter Williams was still a young man when he first met the Great King. He enjoyed the Kings company and often wanted to know more about him but never seemed to have the time. He always enjoyed talking to the King, who enjoyed his company and knew that Peter was one he could trust with any task he gave him.
The Great King ruled over nearly all the lands on Earth. Strong and powerful, he wanted only the best for his people, and they looked to him for just about everything. They had only to ask for help when they were in trouble and he would be there for them.
And there came a time they needed him now.
You might think that such a ruler would be loved by all. But unhappily no, not a bit of it! Many were ungrateful and, sad to say, said they didnt need a King to help them, thank you very much, they would do things their own way.
