The Parable of the Princesses

In this parable written by Jenny Phillips, three sisters-- Ebony, Sara, and Hazel-- are daughters of a king. "Do you love me?" the king asks. "Yes, Father," they all cry. "Then build me a castle while I am gone, and do not forget me. Someday, I will return." Almost immediately, though, the princesses are faced with temptations and trials and deceits. Who will remain true and receive their father's approval, "Well done my good and faithful daughter"?
