Flying fish
Goldie: Fish
swim. Birds fly. Do you get it?
Blue: I saw a
flying fish!
Goldie: For the
last time, fish have fins like us. They wiggle them back and forth which
pushes them through the water just like us.
Blue:
All fish don't swim like us all
the time. When a flying fish jumps out of the water, he stiffens his
fins to help him glide through the air like a bird.
Goldie: You've
got to be kidding me!
Blue:
I saw it with my own eyes. It was
really strange. That flying fish glided through the air for a whole
minute.
Goldie:
A whole minute?
Blue:
A flying fish can sometimes go 500
feet in a single glide.
Goldie: But
swimming is so much fun, why would he want to fly instead of swim?
Blue: A
flying fish will take a leap of faith when a predator is chasing it. He
is looking for something better than being eaten by a bigger fish. God
made the flying fish with a special ability to help him escape
predators. When he uses that God given ability, it helps him not to be
eaten.
Goldie:
That is really strange. Fish are
supposed to swim. . . .
Blue: That's
right. In God's divine plan, everything doesn't make sense to fish
brains like us, yet God knows exactly what He's doing, cause He knows
everything. That's why people need to trust Him, cause He knows what
he's doing. And He's big enough and smart enough to take care of all His
creatures.
Goldie:
Especially little fishes.
Blue: Especially
people, cause he made them in His own image.
Goldie:
Are you sure?
Blue: I'm
sure it tells all about in the Bible. Come on I'll show you. It's on the
first page of the book.
