One Sunday afternoon a little girl was happily walking home from Kids Church reading her bible. When she arrived at her driveway, her grumpy neighbour noticed what the little girl was doing and asked roughly, "What are you reading, girl?"
The little girl replied gently, "My bible. The part where a man called Jonah got swallowed by a big fish and God saved him."
At this, the neighbour snickered and scoffed, "The bible is a made-up book! How could a man survive in the stomach of a fish?"
The girl answered, "Well, when I'm in heaven, I'll ask Jonah."
The neighbour laughed more and arrogantly asked, "What if Jonah isn't in heaven?"
The little girl thought long and hard about this question then replied quietly, "Then you can ask him."
