The Lord who steals vanity never tolerates anyone's vanity. If one is proud and vain, one is bound to be defeated. Two princes set out to capture the thief of the golden lotus. They hoped to be victorious. They surrounded the blue sea with boats, ferries, sampans and all variety of local craft. They were sure of catching the flower stealer and exposing the fairy's evil tricks. But their minds and hearts were full of vanity. They were not aware that God was mysteriously smiling at their vanity. The fairy carried magic arrows, and managed to steal away the flower without the least fear. __________________ The Divine Thief of vanity tolerates not arrogance and pride. For the vain defeat is preordained. Two proud princes in hope of victors' glory set out to capture the lotus thief. With boats and ferries and a host of craft they openly surrounded the shining Blue Sea. They were egotistically sure of ensnaring their prey and exposing her cunning ways. But God was intent on foiling their pride. The clever fairy armed with magic spears outwitted the princely team. She succeeded, the coveted bloom to steal without the least inkling of fear.
