[k] @Mash (Narrator) Tonight, we will be performing a story[sr]about the most enigmatic queen in the Bible. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Mash (Narrator) She was the queen of a prosperous southern nation... Somewhere south of Arabia, or perhaps to the east of Africa. [k] @Mash (Narrator) This queen was drawn to King Solomon, known far and wide for his peerless wisdom, and decided to journey across the desert to meet him. [k] @Mash (Narrator) Tell me... Do you know what a true desert is like? An endless sea of sand that stretches out past the horizon. A land of death, where not a single drop of water can be found. [k] @Mash (Narrator) To cross it, the queen ordered hundreds of camels, accompanied by thousands of soldiers and attendants, to form a single file procession. [k] @Mash (Narrator) Each camel was laden with incredible treasures:[sr]gold, jewels, and precious frankincense. [k] @Mash (Narrator) Our story begins with the queen perched[sr]on a camel, surveying her procession...
