asking this question as a

“Then look at the student’s
cheekiness,” the boy stated.
“The student continues
sitting on the throne, while the teacher stands before
him!”

The Emperor went red in the face. He quickly
stood up and walked down. Leading the boy by the
hand, he made him sit on the throne. The king took
the shepherd’s cloak and wrapped it around himself.
With folded hands, he then asked the shepherd boy: “O
teacher, could you please
tell me what God does?”

The shepherd boy laughed:
“God turns a shepherd boy
into an Emperor! And an
Emperor into a shepherd!”

The Minister looked at
the Emperor. The king was
speechless. Yes, God could
do anything as He pleased,
the Emperor realised.
