Midrash Shmuel (aggadah)
Okay, kiddo! Let me explain Midrash Shmuel, which is a type of Aggadah story!
So, remember when we read stories from a book and sometimes we wonder what happened before or after a certain event? That's kind of what Midrash Shmuel is like! It's a collection of stories that imagine what could have happened in the gaps of the Bible stories.
It's like if we were reading a story about a superhero, and we wondered what happened on their day off or how they got their superpowers. Midrash Shmuel fills in those imaginary gaps and gives us new stories to think about!
These stories are meant to teach us lessons, too. They might help us learn how to treat others with kindness or how to be brave in difficult situations. They're not meant to be taken as true history, though - it's more like a fun way to imagine other possibilities.
So that's Midrash Shmuel - a collection of Aggadah stories that help us think about the Bible stories in new ways and teach us important lessons!
