King Louis had been taken from his throne and imprisoned. His young son, the prince, was taken by those who dethroned the king. They thought that inasmuch as the king's son was heir to the throne, it they would destroy him morally, he would never realize the great and grand destiny that life had bestowed upon him.
They took him to a community far away, and there they exposed the lad to every filthy and vile things that life could offer. They exposed him to foods the richness of which would quickly make him a slave to appetite. They exposed him to lewd and lusting women. They used vile language around him constantly. They exposed him to dishonor and distrust. He was surrounded 24 hours a day by every thing that could drag a man as low as he could slip. For over six months he had this treatment, but not once did the young lad buckle under pressure.
Finally, after intensive temptation, they questioned him. Why had he not submitted himself to these things- why had he not partaken? These things would provide pleasure, satisfy his lusts, and were desirable, they were all his. the boy said, "I cannot do what you ask for I was born king."
Teens, what do you think of this?
