Happy Endings

So the Jews don't get killed after all and there's feasting and celebrating everywhere. On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them. The Jews assembled in their cities in all the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those seeking their destruction. No one could stand against them, because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them. And all the nobles of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and the king's administrators helped the Jews, because fear of Mordecai had seized them. Mordecai was prominent in the palace; his reputation spread throughout the provinces, and he became more and more powerful. I'm glad Mordecai finally got a high elevation. The Purim is celebrated and every one's generally happy. I bet Esther felt really good too. She saved all the Jews, she broght down an evil villian, and she had the courage to do it!
