From Children's Moment - July 27, 2014
In response to requests, here is the story read by Vicki Schoen last Sunday:  An emperor in the Far East was growing old and knew it was time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or his children, he decided something different. He called young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you." Read how the emperor made his selection.
