The roaches are back. And this time, they’re going to get rid of the bad guy – the exterminator.  After all, isn’t he a Philistine, just like Goliath?

Squiggz, Cosmo and Flutter, the three roach grandkids of Grandpa Lou, are having a great day on the boardwalk.  In between bites of disgusting things they find in the trash – Yum!  Delicious! – they enjoy the rides and the games inside the old arcade.  But then the biggest, meanest and ugliest exterminator they’ve ever seen arrives, and he’s determined to eliminate the bugs for good.

Thankfully, Grandpa Lou is nearby, fishing from a lobster tank.  When the kids find him, he rushes in to help. But the way Grandpa helps is by telling stories from his past – and this bug has a very long past, as in, thousands of years.  And, while it isn’t necessarily the best time to be spinning a yarn, when your grandchildren are about to be exterminated, Grandpa’s tales are definitely entertaining.  Even more importantly, they’re relevant to the situation at hand.  So, even as they’re hiding from the belching, belly-scratching giant, Lou is teaching the kids about another giant named Goliath – one he just happened to witness, years ago, in a battle with a boy named David.

Goliath was a Philistine, a race not particularly known for grace and poise – or cowardice.  So when Goliath started shouting at the Israelites, from way across the desert, no one wanted to come out and fight him. He was huge, after all – and very well equipped for battle, with all sorts of scary weapons and armor.  Even King Saul, who stood head and shoulders above his men, wouldn’t do it.  But Saul found a surprising hero in a shepherd boy named David, who arrived on the battlefield bearing food and waters for his warrior brothers.

David was both young and small, but he knew how to wield a slingshot.  He was also a faithful believer, and he prayed before each shot.  Still, as he stepped up to confront the giant, the Philistines were laughing.  A few seconds later, however, they grew suddenly silent.  David’s first shot had hit Goliath between the eyes and knocked him dead.

Squiggz, Cosmo and Flutter are impressed with the tale, but don't have time to think because, back at the arcade, the exterminator is about to do his thing.  Grandpa, Cosmo and Flutter manage to escape, leaving Squiggz on his own to face the giant.  But then Squiggz realizes that his relatives haven’t escaped at all.  They’re stuck in a roach motel!  And now it’s his turn for doom.

With Grandpa urging him on, Squiggz knows that this is his chance to save them.  He could be just like David.  But will he be?  And how?  After all, Squiggz doesn’t have a slingshot.  He does have the Lord, though.
