Jonah and the Whale

Whale

A little girl was talking to her teacher about Jonah and the whale

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

Jonah

The little girl stated definitively that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

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

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
