Mine is the story from Joseph son of Jacob, who went to jail for ? charges but became vizier of Egypt the right hand of the Pharao afterwards.

Joseph's dream of grain
Joseph's dream of stars
Joseph, son of Israel (Jacob) and Rachel, lived in the land of Canaan with ten half-brothers, one full brother and one half-sister. He was Rachel's firstborn and Israel's eleventh son. Of all the sons, Joseph was loved by his father the most. Israel even arrayed Joseph with a "long coat of many colors".[29] Israel's favoritism toward Joseph caused his half brothers to hate him, and when Joseph was seventeen years old he had two dreams that made his brothers plot his demise. In the first dream, Joseph and his brothers gathered bundles of grain. Then, all of the grain bundles that had been prepared by the brothers gathered around Joseph's bundle and bowed down to it. In the second dream, the sun (father), the moon (mother) and eleven stars (brothers) bowed down to Joseph himself. When he told these two dreams to his brothers, they despised him for the implications that the family would be bowing down to Joseph. They became jealous that their father would even ponder over Joseph's words concerning these dreams. (Genesis 37:1-11)

The story of Joseph was neat. Reading was almost like a soap. The chick got mad because he wasn't open to her advances.

David and Goliath
Also popularly known as "David Saves The Day" -
But the story of Samson and Delilah might be my all time favorite. Very powerful message in that one.

I was actually going to talk about David. But I love everything that happened after. With the king wanting to ? him and the son becoming like his best friend and helping him. -

My favorites are David and Moses.
David kicks ass,? mad ? ,unites cities,punks his dad.and has a son who became.a legrnd too,great story.
Moses because he's just a rough and rugged guy with a positive message. He left the home of Pharoah to be his own man... -
