The Tale of Three Serfs is a story about three Christian men in a society generally hostile to Christianity. They had no freedom to practice their Faith, and their Christian identities had placed them in a lowly hierarchy in that society. When God (represented by the angel) offered them help, none of them asked for something which was intrinsically evil, so God gave each of them a positive response. However, the fate of the first two serfs differed widely from that of the third.
Essentially, the first two serfs did not seek to alter their social status, namely the serfdom. They sought to alleviate the harsh conditions within the extent of serfdom, but the third serf sought freedom, the contrary to serfdom, and not merely physical and psychological freedom, but also moral freedom, the freedom to worship and to practice his Faith, which would ultimately allow him to fulfil the purpose of a human being. For that freedom, he embarked on an epic and bitter journey and eventually received his reward.
It is also noteworthy that the second and third serfs, by recognising the mercy and omnipotence of God, were given much more than what they asked. The second serf asked for a warmer place to live but was also given a family. The third serf was given the kingship together with a departure from serfdom. As the bishop remarked at the end, God is always generous in vouchsafing us what we ask of Him, but what makes differences depend on (1) how well we know and recognise His mercy and omnipotence, (2) what we ask for, and (3) how we utilise the gifts from God.
