The Bread of Life: the five thousand a by ric gustafson
Aron ran out the front door of the house and around the corner to where his mother was working in a small vegetable garden.
" Mother, can I go fishing down at the sea?".
" Sure, I'll make you a little lunch so you can take it with you".
He ran and picked up his fishing stick which was lying alongside the house. He ran back to the front as his mother came out with a little knapsack.
" Here are five small barley loaves you can have for your lunch".
" Thanks Mother". He began to walk down the dusty road.
" And if you catch any fish" she yelled as he kept walking. " You can have those too".
It did not take him long to reach the Sea of Tiberias. He found a spot where he liked to fish and stretched out on a large rock. Soon after he put his stick into the water, he pulled out a small fish. He put the stick back into the water and closed his eyes to rest. Soon, his stick tugged and he pulled in another small fish.
After this, he stood up and decided to walk to another spot to eat his lunch. He put the small fish into his knapsack and began to walk. As he walked, he noticed a huge number of people gathering on a mountain side by the sea.
