A young boy had just gotten his driver's license, and inquired of his father if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said, "You bring your grades up to B average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car."
After about six weeks his father said, "Son, I've been real proud. You brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut."
The young man said, "I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, and Moses had long hair."
To this his father replied, "Did you also notice they all walked everywhere?"
한 소년이 운전면허를 갓 따고 아버지에게 차를 쓰는 문제를 의논하고 싶다고 했다. 아버지는 "성적을 평균 B학점으로 올리고 성경 공부도 좀 하고 머리를 자른 뒤에 얘기하자"고 했다.
6주 뒤 아버지가 말했다. "아들아, 자랑스럽다. 학점도 올라갔고 성경 공부도 하더구나. 그런데 머리를 안 자른 건 정말 실망이다."
아들이 말했다. "성경을 보니까 삼손도 모세도 장발이던걸요."
그러자 아버지가 답했다. "그러면 그분들이 어디든 걸어 다닌 것도 알겠구나."
