A Whale of a Tale


I couldn't resist this title though I could have used the title "Tale of a Whale". When I was a young child, many, many years at Daily Vacation Bible School at our church we had quizzes. One of the questions was, What swallowed Jonah? I said, "A whale." I did not get the question correct and was told the correct answer was a big fish not a whale. Today I know this to be correct but back then we used the King James Version of the Bible only and in Matthew 12:40 the KJV clearly says that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. I was upset, I felt that I had been cheated.
