A Fish Story

Once upon a time there was a young boy named Jonah.

Jonah lived in the jungle near a river teeming with piranha . His parents told him that he could go down to the river and stand near the bank but not too close or he might fall in and if he fell into the river the voracious piranha would strip the flesh from his bones in seconds.

Every day Jonah went down to the river and stood near the bank but not too close or he might fall in and if he fell into the river the voracious piranha would strip the flesh from his bones in seconds.

Jonah was disobedient. One day he went down to the river and stood near the bank but not too close or he might fall in and if he fell into the river the voracious piranha would strip the flesh from his bones in seconds

That’s when a big fish jumped up and swallowed Jonah whole.
