In the Bible there is a story about a man named Jonah who was swallowed by a whale because he didn't do something God had asked him to do. When Jonah was in the whale's belly he prayed to God and said he was sorry. God then told the whale to spit Jonah out which the whale did. The whole time Jonah was not hurt or afraid because he knew God would always look after him.
