Cindy realizes this can’t go on.  She has to tell them something, but what?  

   The truth??
                  
   She decides to tell a story first.  Leah and Josiah had seen the cartoon video many times at home ...they are very familiar with this particular story.                                                       

    Cindy opens her Bible and reads the story to them.  It is the story of the Good Samaritan.
                  
    Leah and Josiah listen to the story attentively.  Then Cindy adds, “Daddy got hurt like the man in the story did.   But when Daddy cried out for help, no one helped. Then he got so weak that no one could hear him cry for help.  And we don’t know where he is.”
                  
    Leah scrunches her little forehead into a frown-line, “Jesus can hear him cry.  Why doesn’t Jesus help Dad?”
