Description:
Robyn wants to take Melanie on an Imagination Station adventure, but Whit has closed it down to work on it. The girls are disappointed, until Bernard tells them a wonderful, true story about a great king named Xerxes, a wicked knight named Haman, and a beautiful and brave maiden named Esther who saved her people from annihilation.

Questions:
Why were the Jews in captivity? Where did Esther get her courage? Would you have done what Esther did? Why or why not? What holiday do the Jewish people celebrate as a result of Esther's actions?
