Some time later, the king realized he VERB Vashti. He was all alone! His PLURAL NOUN suggested he hold a beauty pageant to find a new NOUN, and he agreed. One of the people forcibly taken from their home to participate in the beauty pageant was Esther. Esther's nickname was [NAME] but no one will call her that for the rest of this story. Esther was either the NOUN or NOUN of Mordechai -- the Megillah is a little unclear. Esther was Jewish, but Mordechai told her to hide this ADJECTIVE aspect of her identity, so she didn't tell anyone. Esther was ADJECTIVE and ADJECTIVE and really good at ACTIVITY REQUIRING SKILL so the king decided to VERB her. She became queen!
