Naaman

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Naaman. Naaman is actually a character in a story from a long time ago. He was a big, important man - kind of like a general in an army.

One day, Naaman got really sick. He had a skin disease called leprosy, which made his skin very itchy and caused bumps to appear. It was not a fun thing to have!

Naaman went to see a prophet named Elisha, hoping that he could help him get better. Elisha told Naaman to go and wash himself in the Jordan River seven times.

Now, Naaman was pretty unhappy about hearing this. He thought it was a little bit silly. He wanted the prophet to do something more grand and impressive to help him heal. But Elisha told him that this is what he had to do.

So, Naaman went to the river and did what the prophet said. He dipped himself in the water seven times. And...you know what happened?

Naaman was healed! His skin disease went away and he felt so much better. He was amazed that something so simple had made him better.

The story of Naaman is often used to talk about how sometimes the simplest solutions are the best ones. It also shows us that it's important to listen to wise people who can give us good advice, even if we don't always like what they have to say!
