Jonah and the Whale

Story Opening: 

One day the Lord came to a man named Jonah.  He wanted Jonah to go to a city called Nineveh and teach the people to be good and to do what God told them to do.  But Jonah didn’t want to go to Nineveh because he had heard bad things about the city.  But he thought he could trick God.  He went and found a ship that was headed in a different direction and got on it.
