Today's story is about Stompy, the little elephant and her exciting fishing trip! But one night there is a storm and Stompy is afraid!
Once in the boat, the waves were calm, and Stompy stared in awe and admiration of the vast sea. She had never been so close, surrounded by the endless ocean. As they sailed further, she spotted a few dolphins swimming by and trumpeted with joy.
Suddenly, the boat began rocking from side to side. Stompy, Uncle Bob, and Papa Elephant quickly grabbed onto a thick rope with their trunks to keep from being thrown overboard. The rocking grew stronger, and poor Stompy started feeling seasick. She sobbed, scared, and called out for Papa Elephant to help her.
Uncle Bob chuckled and said, "Hey, Kiddo, this is normal! I’m used to the rocking of the boat."
"But… but…," Stompy tried to speak, but the boat kept swaying, and she couldn’t steady herself.
Papa Elephant gently pulled Stompy close and said, "Let me tell you a Bible story, Stompy. Did you know that once, Jesus commanded the sea to be quiet?"
"Really?" Stompy replied, wide-eyed.
What happens next? Tune in to find out.
