 The Midrash compared God's great love of converts to a king who had a flock of goats, and once a stag came in with the flock.When the king was told that the stag had joined the flock, the king felt an affection for the stag and gave orders that the stag have good pasture and drink and that no one beat him.When the king's servants asked him why he protected the stag, the king explained that the flock have no choice, but the stag did.
