The puppets told the story of David and Goliath, a young shepherd boy, who rejects the King&#8217;s heavy armour in favour of his simple sling and five smooth stones, ultimately toppling the giant with a single, well-aimed shot.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">The moral of the story is that courage, faith and ingenuity can overcome even the most overwhelming obstacles. It teaches that you don&#8217;t need to be the biggest or strongest person to succeed; instead, by staying true to your own unique strengths\u2014rather than trying to fit into someone else&#8217;s &#8220;armour&#8221;\u2014you can defeat &#8220;giants.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Thank you, Mr and Mrs. Bridden for another amazing
