<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One day something seemed to be going on in the town. Jacob and Rachel leaned over to see what all the excitement was about. Lots of people were</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> lining up as if a king or someone was coming to visit.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> I wonder who it is thought the two leaves.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Suddenly the leaves saw a small man dressed in red, stood behind the crowd. He was a thief and no one in the town liked him. He did not have one single friend. The leaves were cross and gave him an angry look. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">"What does that Zacchaeus think he is doing?" asked Jacob,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">"he should stay in his house. He has no friends in this town." Rachel nodded her head in agreement. "Yes he is a bad man," she answered angrily.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">All at once a man appeared walking towards the crowd. He had a kind face and was smiling at everyone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">"Jesus !Jesus !" the people shouted loudly. The man called Jesus waved at the crowd and stopped to talk to some of them. His friends who were called disciples followed behind him.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The two little leaves wondered who this Jesus was? He seemed very special and important. Everyone loved him. Zacchaeus who was quite small could not see Jesus behind all the crowds and was very sad. He didn't know what to do when suddenly he had an idea. He would climb up the sycamore tree !</span></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">When Jesus saw Zacchaeus sitting in the tree he walked under the branches and said to him " Zacchaeus come down. I want to visit your house and talk with you." Everyone was so surprised and angry at this. Especially the two little leaves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">"Why is Jesus going to his house?" asked Jacob, "He is a bad man !" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">"He steals!" said Rachel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">All the people were frowning and cross that Jesus wanted to be friends with Zacchaeus.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Amy and Liam were two gentle caterpillars and they lived in a beautiful tree. They loved to climb
and climb along the branches of the tree and then stop and munch the big,
green, juicy leaves. They had a sweet and simple life and couldn’t imagine
anything ever being different.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Until one day when they woke up
in the morning and the sky was not blue but grey and the sun did not shine but Instead
was covered with black clouds. “I don’t like this,” said Amy looking up with
scared eyes at the darkness.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Me, neither,” said Liam.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“What shall we do?” asked Amy.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I don’t know. Let’s ask

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Excuse me,” Liam said to a
passing bee, “what’s happening?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The bee looked surprised at the
question and stopped his buzzing for a moment to speak.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Don’t you know? Don’t you know?”
he repeated over and over again. “Very bad, very bad; a flood is coming; very
soon; very soon. Fly away, fly away.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“But we can’t fly!” Amy cried
after the frightened little bee but he had already zoomed off.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The two caterpillars looked at
each other. “We must try to go to the mountain,” said Liam “we may be safe
there." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Yes," agreed Amy. "Perhaps the water will not come up so high. It will be hard though
because the mountain is many days away.”</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Together they
began to crawl from branch to branch. It was very tiring though and they had to
keep resting and eating. Eventually it was time to stop and they found a quiet
little hole in the tree where they fell asleep.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">That night the moon was high up
in the sky and shone bright with all the stars twinkling around it. Amy had
been fast asleep when suddenly she woke up. She thought she heard a voice
speaking to her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Go to the ark,” she thought she
heard the voice whisper.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She woke Liam up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“There’s a voice speaking. I
think it’s saying go to the ark,” she told him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Oh it’s just the wind,” said
Liam.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Amy agreed it must have been the
wind and went back to sleep.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The poor little caterpillars
worked really hard every day. They would march along the tree branches; then
munch a big, green leaf and finally have a tiny rest before marching once more.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At last both of them needed to
stop. They were so sleepy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Shall we just have one more
rest,” said Amy, her eyes almost closed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Good idea,” agreed Liam, “I am

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">They slept for a long, long time
when a most amazing, wondrous, beautiful miracle happened to the two little
creatures. They began to change. A thick blanket like a cocoon began to spin
around their bodies whilst they stayed all cosy and warm inside. They lay
inside the cocoon many days, quiet and still. When suddenly both the cocoons
began to break open and Amy and Liam pushed their way out into the fresh air.</span></div>

butterflies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Look at me!” cried Amy as she
flew around and around in circles.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I can’t believe it,” shouted

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then they heard it; both together
this time. The voice saying the same thing over and over again:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Go to the ark. Go to the ark. Go
to the ark.”</span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“But where is the ark?” said Amy,

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Together they fluttered quickly
up to the tops of the trees. It was so easy now. On and on they went until at last
right in front of them, they saw an amazing ship. It was the biggest ship in
the world and there were lots of animals and they were all going inside.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">As
the two butterflies watched an old man called Noah came out of the ark. He
looked up at the sky. It was getting blacker and blacker. He told the animals
to hurry up and come into the ark.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Suddenly there was a huge, booming noise. Everyone including Amy and Liam
jumped. They had never heard such a sound before. Then great drops of water
began to fall from the sky. It had never thundered or rained before and the
animals did not know what was happening. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Amy
and Liam fluttered down towards the ark and Noah.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Amy and Liam?” asked Noah.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The two butterflies nodded and
sighed as Noah stretched out his hand for them to climb on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Is this the ark?" asked Amy</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"It certainly is," replied Noah, "we have been waiting for you! God wouldn't let us go without you. Now come and get warm and I will get you something to eat."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So Amy and Liam curled up in Noah's hand and went inside the ark, safe and warm from the flood outside.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Esther was a stone who liked to sing praises to God or so she thought; but she really couldn’t sing.
In fact she sounded like a croaking frog or a screeching raven! It didn’t stop
her though. She praised in the morning; she praised at lunchtime; she praised
in the afternoon; she praised in the evening and she praised at bedtime. Her
family did not like it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #141823; line-height: 115%;">Ezra was a little, little fish; tiny if truth be told. He was the
smallest one in his family. He had hoped to grow bigger for many years but he
never did. He pretended not to care but in his heart he was ashamed. He didn’t
feel important and wondered why God had created him so very small. He compared
himself all the time to every other fish he saw.</span><span style="color: #141823; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">“My how long and curved those fins are,” he said of a smart looking fish

“I wish I could swim like that,” he thought as a long, slim fish darted above
him.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
“How beautiful!” he sighed as a bright, colourful fish danced between the rocks
next to him.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
“I wonder if I will ever do anything that matters?” Ezra said over and over to

was even smaller than Ezra but he didn’t think like Ezra.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
“You alright mate?” asked the Sardine confidently, who by the way was called
Boaz.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
“Yes, how are you?” replied Ezra who was a bit surprised at the cockiness of
the little chap.<br />
“I couldn’t be better. I chased off a few fishermen. Tried to catch me in their
nets they did, but I was too quick for them,” he answered cheekily.<br />
“You’re very sure of yourself aren’t you?” spoke Ezra.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
“Yes why not? That’s the way God made me. Small but fast!” laughed Boaz.<br />
“I wish I was fast,” answered Ezra sadly.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
“Well mate God made all of us for a purpose. You just haven’t found out what
yours is yet!” said Boaz with a smile.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This really made Ezra think. God has a purpose for him. Unimportant little Ezra. All that week he couldn't get it out of his mind. What could God possibly have in store for him? It was actually because he was thinking so much and not looking where he was going that the accident happened. He was swimming between some rocks when something shiny and hard landed on his head. Ezra gulped in surprise and the next moment the shiny thing slid down his nose, into his mouth and plopped into his belly. He felt it rattling around inside of him. He really should have been quite upset at this but for some reason Ezra felt very excited. The feeling stayed with him all day and the next day. In fact it stayed with him all week.</span><br />

deep, deep sleep. He had been dreaming. In his dream he had met a king. The
king was thanking him but he didn’t know why. Ezra felt happy for the first
time in his little life. “I think I’ll go for a swim,” he said. He never
noticed the fishing line dangling in the water above, all he saw was the juicy
bait in front of him. He opened his mouth wide and snap he was caught. Up, up
through the water he sped like a torpedo. Then he felt his jaws being opened
wide and a hand reaching in to take out the shiny thing. It was a silver coin.He looked into the
eyes of the fisherman who was holding him and the next instant he was thrown
back into the water.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ezra swam around
and around in circles for a very long time. He didn’t understand everything
that had happened because he was only a little fish but he knew somehow he had
helped someone. Maybe that someone was a king and after that he never did compare
himself again with other fish. He felt special and no one could ever take that
away from him. And we know how special he was don’t we?</span><br />
