오늘 하루의 양식: 광야의 빵

A Long, Hungry Walk

Long ago, a large group of people crossed a wide desert. They had left a hard land, and at last they were free. But the desert was dry, and food was very hard to find. The wind blew sand, and the hot sun burned their skin. Their stomachs growled, and some of the people began to worry. "What will we eat out here?" they asked one another. Day after day, they wondered how they would ever live.

White Flakes at Dawn

The next morning, something strange lay all across the ground. Thin white flakes covered the sand like sparkling frost. The people had never seen this kind of food before. "What is it?" they asked, so they named it manna. They gathered the flakes and baked soft, warm bread. It tasted sweet and light, a little like honey. Everyone was glad, for now they finally had food to eat.
