God said, "Go to Nineveh, that big city. Tell them they do bad things. I know about their bad actions." But Jonah ran away from God. He went to Joppa. He found a ship going to Tarshish. He paid money and got on the ship. He wanted to go far from God. But God sent a strong wind on the sea. There was a big storm. The ship almost broke. The sailors were scared. Each man prayed to his god. They threw things from the ship into the sea. They wanted to make the ship lighter. But Jonah was sleeping deep inside the ship. The captain came to Jonah. He said, "Wake up, sleeper! Pray to your God. Maybe your God will help us. Then we will not die." The sailors said to each other, "Let's throw lots. We need to know who caused this trouble."
