Arthur finally was satisfied with the view from the mountain top and told Micheal he was ready for the next destination. "I'd like you to meet one of my best students!" said Michael. "I think he has a lot he can teach you. The two of you will have a lot to talk about I believe!" Another blink of the eyes and they were out in the desert near an Egyptian temple. There were pyramids in the background and in front of them stood a very well tanned and impressive Egyptian Pharaoh. His chariot with a double horse team were standing patiently behind him. "Good afternoon, Michael! So good to see you again! It has been too long since your last visit!" intoned the Pharaoh. "My good friend and best student, I would like you to meet one of my new students. Pharaoh, meet Arthur." The Pharaoh and Arthur greet each other and soon all three men were engaged in conversation. Michael explained to Pharaoh that Arthur is from a different place and that his country is being ruined by the greed of a few individuals. This disturbs Pharaoh very much. "The land is the most precious thing a human can be privileged to care for. It gives us life. It provides all our needs and takes our remains when we die. How could any one ever be so selfish as to abuse the land for their one close minded greed?" "I agree!" said Arthur. "But these individuals don't think beyond their own lives. If they did, they might reconsder what they are taking from the rest of humanity." "Since I became ruler, I have made sure everyone respects the land. We all work together to keep it healthy. And because of that, the land rewards us with abundance in food and other priceless benefits. If I were you, Arthur, I would tell the people of your country they need to take back their land! They need to treat it with the respect is so richly needs and deserves. Once you do that, you will be amazed at how quickly you can turn your bad situation back onto the course of order and harmony for all. Only with the participation of everyone though, can this be done!" "I realize the enormity of the situation, Pharaoh! But most of the people in my land are weak willed and just don't care anymore. How could I possibly reach them with this message that is so necessary for all to survive?" "I don't know how you could do it. But here in my country, I am the Pharaoh. And what the Pharaoh commands, everyone obeys and does!" at this Pharoah winked at Michael and Michael smiled back at him as he glanced over at Arthur for his reaction. After these discussions, Arthur had many question of Pharaoh about his land. How long had he ruled. How many people did he rule. Who built the pyramids. And the questions went on and on. Pharaoh was very patient with Arthur and answered as many questions as he was able. Once in awhile, Michael would fill in when Pharaoh didn't know an answer. After a lengthy interview/visit, Michael intervened and told Arthur, "We must be going now! Pharaoh has a country to run after all. We are interfering with his duties if we detain him any longer." Courteous good-byes were exchanged and Pharaoh climbed into his chariot. As he went racing away in a cloud of dust, he waved good-bye to them and wished Arthur good luck with educating his people. "Did you enjoy your meeting with Pharaoh?" asked Michael. "Words can't describe how impressed I am with this opportunity. I suspect you must have seen my interest in Egyptology from the book I had by my recliner. Was that part of the reason for our trip here?" "That and the fact that Pharaoh had a lot he was able to teach you in a very short time. Now without further adieu, let us proceed to our next destination!" M4 and M2 characters.
