A certain king had a dream. In his dream, he saw a huge pair of scales held in the hand of Justice. The scales seem to reach from earth to sky. In one side of the scales was a pile of gold, jewels, lumber, houses, lands --all symbols of earthly, material power. In the other side of the scales was a nest of straw. The gold, jewels, houses and lands had tipped the scales down until the nest of straw was high in the air. The gold-laden side of the scales touched the earth. Then, a woman came from the sky with a baby in her arms. She put the baby in the nest of straw.
