After their refreshing water break, the father and son returned to their storytelling spot.

 

"So, Samson got married to a woman named Delilah," the father continued. "But Delilah wasn't a good wife."

 

"Why wasn't she good? Did she not let Samson watch TV?" the little boy asked, making his father chuckle.

 

"No, it wasn't that," the father replied. "Delilah wanted to trick Samson into revealing the secret of his strength. Do you remember what made Samson really strong?"

 

"The long hair!" the little boy answered confidently.

 

"That's right!" his father said. "Delilah kept asking Samson to share his secret, and eventually, he told her that his strength would disappear if his hair was cut."

 

The little boy's face fell. "Oh no!"

 

The father continued, "One night, while Samson slept, Delilah snuck in with a barber and cut off all his hair. When Samson woke up, his strength was gone. He was taken to a place where people laughed at him, hurt his eyes, and left him blind."

 

The little boy's disappointment grew. "Oh no!"

 

The father went on, "But while here, Samson prayed to God to restore his strength. One night, as his enemies celebrated his loss of strength, they brought him and put him between two pillars, where they all continued to mock him. Samson placed his hands on the two pillars holding up the building."

 

The father demonstrated this gesture with his hands.

 

"With all his might!" the father exclaimed, using a powerful gesture to illustrate Samson's strength.

"Samson pushed the pillars, and the entire building came crashing down!"

 

The little boy's eyes widened in awe. "Wow!"

 

The father concluded, "Samson died that day, but he's still remembered as the strongest man who ever lived!"
