The Kedushas Levi tells a mashal of a king who opens his treasuries for a day, allowing people to come and take whatever they want. If one sleeps all day long, he is a fool. He wasted the opportunity.

Purim is approaching. We can acquire so much on this day. The wise will take advantage of this day. The fools let the day pass unproductively. ~ R’ Elimelech Biderman Shlita
