What is revealed about the king as he accepts the purple robe from his oldest daughter in paragraph 6?
He expects his daughters to submit to his rule.
He thinks that being a king is more important than anything else.
He assumes that his other daughters will offer better gifts.
He believes that all the gifts are equal.
The king was very surprised with these gifts. After some deliberation he said, “Purple is the most indispensable thing for a king. If he no longer wears purple, he is no longer king and is as common as other humans. Because you have perceived this, my oldest daughter, you shall be decorated with royal purple. Come to me and receive my blessing!”
7 He then said to the second oldest, “Eating and drinking are not altogether necessary, my good child, and they draw us down into commonness. I cannot thank you for your poorly chosen gift, but you shall be blessed for your good will.”
