Samson, the strong young man
Hi all my stemian friends, this is my participation in the contest held by our friend @bambuka, I hope it will be accepted,
The wise king
Hey Samson... what are you doing there?
Can't you see that I am struggling to hold up this building, which is on the verge of collapse?
But why aren't you wearing any clothes?
You must understand, I have been holding up this building for tens of thousands of years; my clothes have fallen away one by one, worn down by the passage of time.
Look at those women—they’re embarrassed just seeing you unclothed like this.
Samson the Strong
So, what should I do now?
Let go; let them fix it themselves. Your duty is simply to guard it, not to repair it.
Ashamed to see Samson naked.
Very well, Master, I’ll let go. There’s no point in holding on until my back aches when they just stand there watching without trying to help fix it.
It baffles me—struggling for tens of thousands of years without clothes, humiliating yourself, only for it all to be in vain.
I also wonder if any children might try to sneak a peek. Samson... go home. You can be like this in your own house; a god needs to maintain some dignity.
If I fail to defend this building, I would be a disgrace as the strongest god on the face of the earth.
Strongest? ...Strongest, you say? But surely, defending it doesn't require making a sacrifice like this—or humiliating yourself in the process.
I was thinking, why isn't Samson dressed?
Let it go, Samson.. just give up on that building. What is the point of continuing to fight when they have never made any effort to repair the damage.
That’s all for today’s post; thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read it. Best regards.

Terimakasih temanku atas dukungannya 🙏🌹
A brilliant story – I had a good laugh. I knew you had enough of a sense of humour to write something funny about this. And there’s Samson. I’d like to say he’s standing there in his undershirt, but he’s not even wearing that anymore. It could also be Eros’s cave, but I think he was supposed to carry the whole earth on his back – he must have had quite a bit of backache too.
And of course it’s absolutely true that if nobody made any attempt to renovate the building over all those centuries, Samson doesn’t have to stay there.
In any case, I hope he’ll still be able to stand upright once he lets go.
Cerita yang luar biasa, aku tertawa terbahak-bahak. Aku memang tahu kamu punya selera humor yang cukup untuk menulis sesuatu yang lucu tentang hal ini. Dan inilah Samson. Aku ingin bilang dia hanya mengenakan kaos dalam, tapi bahkan itu pun sudah tidak dia kenakan lagi. Bisa juga itu adalah gua Eros, tapi menurutku dia harus memikul seluruh bumi di punggungnya, pasti punggungnya juga sakit parah.
Dan tentu saja benar sekali bahwa jika selama berabad-abad tidak ada yang berusaha merenovasi bangunan itu, Samson tidak perlu tetap tinggal di sana.
Setidaknya aku berharap dia masih bisa berdiri tegak begitu dia melepaskan pegangannya.
Terimakasih temanku..... bantuan mu sangat membantu ku untuk ikut berpartisipasi di kontes ini, aku juga senang jika anda bisa terhibur dengan cerita ku, sukses selalu untuk mu temanku
