The Whale and Jonah | 鲸鱼与约拿

点击查看中英对照

A little girl was discussing whales with her teacher.

The teacher explained that it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human. Despite being a large mammal, its throat is too small.

The girl countered, "But a whale swallowed Jonah."

Irritated, the teacher reiterated the physical impossibility.

Undeterred, the girl said, "When I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah."

The teacher retorted, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The girl replied, "Then you ask him."
