In "There again! There she blows right ahead, boys! -- lay back!" I discuss the synchronicity of attending a particular church twice in a two-month period and being treated to sermons on the Book of Jonah both times.
Today -- nine days after the second Jonah sermon -- I found that the preschool had just ordered a new book for the children. It's not about Jonah -- it's a just-so story called Why Does the Big Whale Have Such a Small Throat? -- but it features a whale swallowing a man, the man staying alive inside the whale's belly, and the whale vomiting him up on a beach. In an unexpected twist, the man sort of "hijacks" the whale, refusing to come out of its belly until it has delivered him to a beautiful beach in England. Here's a video of someone reading the story. It's all in Chinese, with no subtitles available, but I think the pictures should enable even those ignorant of that language to follow the basic plot.
