"Listen up, recruits! This is Esther 1. King Ahasuerus is throwing a big feast for all his noblemen and leaders. He's got a lot of wine and he's showing off his riches. He's also showing off his wife, Queen Vashti, but she refuses to show up. This makes the king furious, so he banishes her and starts looking for a new queen. That's it for Esther 1, recruits.
