A Shorter Purim Story
by Ilana Streit
It happened in the days of Ahashveirosh and Vashti...
that he said,
"Hey Vashti, would you please come
to my party?"
and
she said,
"You know, it's really not a good
time for me. Maybe later."
And he said to himself, "Hey, I'm
the king!" and he called her again from his cell
phone, (and with her caller ID she knew it was him, and she
put him on speaker phone) and
he said,
"Now"
and
she said,
"No."
When she got off of the phone, all
the women around her clapped for
her.
Meanwhile, back at the men's party,
Ahi (short for Ahashveirosh )
was
upset.
He left the
room of drunken men
and went for a walk in the
courtyard to clear his
head.
When he came back to the palace, on
the way back to the party he stopped at his computer to
write an apology e-mail message to Vashti. They had lunch
together the next day.
