Moisey’s Throne

It was a day of celebration in the land of Egypt about an Egyptian god named Ra was when an Egyptian boy wandered off from the celebration to explore. When he was far from the town he saw 3 children in the distance, he was already far from his own home and was lost so he ran ahead toward the children. The children were dirty and filthy and they were lugging water for their baths.

“Why aren't you people celebrating today? Today is a festive day for our great god Ra, everyone should be eating treats and celebrating and be clean. But you guys are filthy and my name is Moisey from the town of the Pharaoh and when I grow I will be Pharaoh. What's yours?”

The children were slaves and were told that Egyptians were cruel and mean from their oldest brother who was whipped so hard that he couldn’t walk and then he died. So they were all afraid to talk to the stranger when the oldest one spoke he said.

“I am Josh, and these are my sisters Kila and Laria.”
“I am lost and have no place to stay for the night may I stay at your house for tonight?”
"I will ask my mother,” replied Josh.

Josh came back and said,
“My mother said it was ok for you to stay as a guest in our home.”

3 years later
“My back is aching from all the work.” complained Moisey.

“take a rest, I will help you out but tomorrow you will have to do all of your days worth.” replied Josh.

What a good brother I have, thought Moisey.

Even though only three years passed since he came to the slaves home he forgot everything about his old family.

One day while Moisey was working the Pharaoh came to inspect the slaves work and when Moisey saw the Pharaoh he saw someone very special, then he remembered the day 3 years ago when he got lost on the day of celebration for Ra.

That night......
“My life is a lie!” yelled Moisey

“No it isn’t a lie you came to us and we kept also we didn’t know where you lived. You chose to live with us. I was afraid of you but I helped you out, letting you sleep in my bed while I slept on the ground, I finished your days work while you sat complaining,and I treated you as my brother.” Said Josh calmly.

3 years later
Moisey decided to run away from his slave family and find another place in the desert so that night he took a camel and a lot of water and food and went on his journey to find a good place to live.

Moisey found a new place to live in a happy place where everyone helps out when one day......
“Help help ahh get away from me!” said a girl while she was running away from a man that was an outsider.

Moisey ran up to her and made the man go away when the girl said......
“thank you very much, a slave was mad at me and chased me out of my great city of Egypt.”

and Moisey said,
“I ran away from the city of Egypt and became a slave, so I would have been Pharaoh but now my brother Seti is. Now i am nothing but a shepherd with nothing but a home and one day I plan to go to Egypt and accept my rightful place.”

“May I stay as a guest in your home and tomorrow I will go back to Egypt.”said the girl and Moisey later found out that her name was Marya and she was born in the same town as Moisey and she heard of the boy that was missing for over 6 years ago but never gave it another thought.
