No Designs
After the death and burial of Hiram Abif, a distraught Master Mason approached King Solomon and asked, “King Solomon, our Grand Master Hiram Abif has been taken from us and we have been told that there are no designs upon the Trestleboard. What shall we do now?”
“There never were any designs on the Trestleboard”, answered the King.
“There never were?!?” responded the surprised Mason. “Then why did Master Hiram enter the Sanctum Sanctorum?”
“Ask instead,” continued King Solomon, “ ‘Why did he ever leave it?’”
Perplexed, the Master Mason asked, “Why did he leave it?”
“I have no idea,” answered King Solomon.
