Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a man named Jonah. Jonah was a kind and wise man, but he had a task that he did not want to fulfill.

One day, Jonah decided to run away from his task. He boarded a ship that was sailing in the opposite direction of where he was supposed to go. But as the ship sailed further into the sea, a great storm began to brew.

The sailors on the ship were scared and didn't know what to do. They realized that Jonah was the cause of the storm, so they threw him overboard to calm the raging sea.

As Jonah plunged into the deep sea, a big fish sent by God swallowed him whole. Inside the belly of the fish, it was dark and slimy. Jonah felt scared and alone.

For three days and three nights, Jonah stayed inside the belly of the fish. He prayed to God, asking for forgiveness and promising to fulfill his mission.

On the third day, the fish spat Jonah onto dry land. Jonah was grateful to be alive and knew that God had given him a second chance.

This time, Jonah decided to obey God's command. He traveled to the city of Nineveh and delivered the message of repentance to the people.

To Jonah's surprise, the people of Nineveh listened to his words. They realized their mistakes and repented for their wrongdoings. God, in His great mercy, decided not to bring destruction upon the city.
