The strongest man - I

"Daddy, look at me! Look at how strong I am!" a little boy exclaimed, lifting a wheelbarrow full of leaves.

His father smiled, "Oh, you're certainly a strong boy!"

"Can I tell you a story about the strongest man who ever lived?" he asked.

The little boy's eyes sparkled, "Are you the strongest man who ever lived?"

His father chuckled, silently honored by the way his son looked at him. "I'm not the strongest man, but I'll tell you about Samson. He is the strongest man that ever lived."

The little boy sat down in the grass, eager to hear the story. His father began, using actions to bring the story to life.

"Before Samson was born, God told his parents that he would be incredibly strong. And because of this, his hair was never to be cut."

The little boy interrupted, "Daddy, what did God tell Mommy and you about me?"

His father's face lit up, "God told us that you would bring us immense joy and happiness!"

The little boy blushed, feeling special.

The father continued, "As Samson grew up, his hair was never cut, and he became incredibly strong. One day, he fought off a lion with his bare hands!"

The little boy's eyes widened in awe.

"Another time, he caught over 300 foxes and fought off 1,000 men who came to capture him. Can you imagine that?" the father asked.

The little boy's eyes grew even wider, captivated by Samson's incredible strength.

The father teased, "Should I continue?"

“YESS!” the little boy answered.

"Let's take a water break first, son," the father said.
