Verity De Jemelle | 3 comments Children's moral/fable story. Read at primary school in 2003 in English lesson.

Something along the lines of: A king is given a present which is this liquid/potion and it has the ability to heal people. People from all over his kingdom visit asking for his help to save family. He always says no as he is saving it for a really important or worthy person. One day either he or his Queen falls ill and he goes to use the potion but it has all evaporated.

Verity, is this a children's picture book or chapter book/novel?

I added some details to the header/topic title. You can update it by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

Thank you for adding the details. It wasn't a chapter book/novel and short enough for the teacher to read it to us in class so yes more likely to be a picture book. I don't have an exact memory though.

Becca (beccalikesbooks) | 5557 comments It seems to be a Biblical story / sermon about King Solomon: https://biblehub.com/sermons/pub/fata...

I haven't been able to find a picture book version / children's textbook etc. that includes the story, though.

Thanks so much! That sounds like what I said so I presume must be it. Thank you for solving my query!

I've changed header to solved but unsure how to move it to the solved group or if that occurs automatically.
