A teacher was telling her class about whales. The teacher pointed out that it would be physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though whales are very large mammals their throats are very small. One little girl raised her hand and stated that couldn’t be true because Jonah had been swallowed by a whale. The teacher was a little irritated and reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl didn’t back down. “When I get to heaven,” she said, “I will ask Jonah.”
The teacher replied, “What if Jonah isn’t in heaven? What if Jonah went to hell?”
And the little girl simply said, “Well, then, you can ask him!”
