Slide 2:
Jonah and the Big Fish
Slide 3:
Jonah was a prophet of God. God asked Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh to tell the people to stop doing bad things.
Slide 4:
But Jonah ran away and got on a boat taking him away from Nineveh. This made God angry and he sent a big storm. All the people on the boat were frightened.
Slide 5:
Jonah told the people to throw him into the sea. Jonah was sure that God would then calm the waters.
Slide 6:
So the people threw Jonah into the stormy sea. The sea instantly became calm.
Slide 7:
Just then a big fish came along. The big fish swallowed Jonah in one big gulp!
Slide 8:
Jonah was inside the fish for three days and nights. He prayed to God for forgiveness.
Slide 9:
God could see that Jonah was sorry. God told the fish to put Jonah on dry land. Then God told Jonah to go back to Nineveh.
Slide 10:
This time Jonah did as God had asked. The people of Nineveh were sorry they had done bad things so God forgave them.
