Naaman

Naaman was a mighty warrior, a hero of the Syrian army. But he was also a leper. One day, Naaman's wife's servant girl told him about a prophet in Israel who could heal him. Naaman traveled to Israel to see the prophet Elisha. Elisha told Naaman to go wash himself in the Jordan River seven times. Naaman was angry at first, but he did as Elisha said and was healed. Naaman was so grateful that he offered to give Elisha a gift. But Elisha refused the gift and told Naaman to go in peace. However, Elisha's servant Gehazi was not so scrupulous. He followed Naaman and asked him for some of the gifts he had offered to Elisha. Naaman gave Gehazi the gifts, and Gehazi was struck with leprosy. This story teaches us that we should be grateful for the blessings we receive, and that we should not be greedy.
