The Lost Donkeys

Name Date

Read the Story

Saul was a tall young man. His father's donkeys got lost. His father said to take a servant and go look for them.

They looked and looked. They did not find the donkeys. The servant said a man of God was in the city. Maybe he could help them.

God told Samuel a man would come. When Samuel saw Saul, God said this was the man. Samuel told Saul the donkeys were found. Samuel gave Saul the best food.
