FLYING FISH??

Click here to hear a skit from excerpt from the Fish Tales  CD

Goldie: Fish swim. Birds fly. Do you get it?

Blue: I saw a flying fish!

Goldie: For the last time, fish have fins like us. They wiggle them back and forth which pushes them through the water just like us.

Blue: All fish don't swim like us all the time. When a flying fish jumps out of the water, he stiffens his fins to help him glide through the air like a bird.

Goldie: You've got to be kidding me!

Blue: I saw it with my own eyes. It was really strange. That flying fish glided through the air for a whole minute.

Goldie: A whole minute?

Blue: A flying fish can sometimes go 500 feet in a single glide.

Goldie: But swimming is so much fun, why would he want to fly instead of swim?

Blue: A flying fish will take a leap of faith when a predator is chasing it. He is looking for something better than being eaten by a bigger fish. God made the flying fish with a special ability to help him escape predators. When he uses that God given ability, it helps him not to be eaten.

Goldie: That is really strange. Fish are supposed to swim. . . .

Blue: That's right. In God's divine plan, everything doesn't make sense to fish brains like us, yet God knows exactly what He's doing, cause He knows everything. That's why people need to trust Him, cause He knows what he's doing. And He's big enough and smart enough to take care of all His creatures.

Goldie: Especially little fishes.

Blue: Especially people, cause he made them in His own image.

Goldie: Are you sure?

Blue: I'm sure it tells all about in the Bible. Come on I'll show you. It's on the first page of the book.
