A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher explained that it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human. Even though whales are enormous mammals, their throats are too small to swallow a person.
The little girl disagreed.
“But my Bible says Jonah was swallowed by a whale,” she said.
“That’s impossible,” the teacher replied. “A whale simply cannot swallow a human.”
The little girl became upset.
“Well, when I get to Heaven, I’m going to ask Jonah!”
The teacher smiled.
“And what if Jonah isn’t in Heaven?”
The little girl thought for a moment.
“Then you can ask him.”
