Kawaii young Samuel sits on a bed by an oil lamp, arched stone doorway, window, moon, and stars.

Samuel Sitting Up by the Lamp

Young Samuel sits wide-eyed on his cushion bed while a little oil lamp glows beside the arched stone doorway.

🎨 How to color it

Color Samuel’s robe soft cream, his cushion bed sky blue, the oil lamp golden yellow, and the stone arch warm beige. Use chunky crayons or markers for the big robe, pillow, and arch shapes, and don’t worry if little hands color past the lines. Add a sleepy purple night sky around the crescent moon and stars so the tiny lamp looks extra cozy.

A soft blanket was waiting on Eliab’s bed. He padded across the cool temple stones to get it. Tap, tap, went his toes. Hush, hush, went the night lamp.

By the doorway, a small visitor shivered in scratchy sleeves. Eliab hugged his blanket once. Then he tucked it around the visitor’s knees. “Warm now,” he whispered.

Eliab went back with empty arms and a full, warm chest. The lamp flickered, hush, hush. Next time you see his wide eyes by the lamp, can you keep his quiet secret too?
