شرح للأطفال
Imagine you're on a big adventure but decide to hide because it seems scary. Then, something amazing happens: like if a giant whale suddenly appears and takes you in its tummy! It sounds wild, but this story teaches us that even when we run away from our responsibilities, God can still use those situations for good.
