The Long, Empty Night

Peter was a fisherman. He lived by a wide blue lake. All night, he fished with his friends. The stars watched them work. They threw their nets again and again. Each time, the nets came up empty. No fish at all. Peter's hands were cold and wet. His heart felt heavy too.

The sun came up over the water. Peter sat down on the shore. He washed his nets slowly. His boat rocked by the sand. It was an old wooden boat. The paint was chipped and faded. But Peter loved that little boat.

The Crowd by the Water

Then Peter heard many voices. A big crowd walked toward the lake. A man named Jesus walked in front. He told wonderful stories about God. People wanted to hear every word. So they pushed closer and closer. Soon Jesus stood right at the edge. One more step meant wet feet!

The people in the back called out. "We cannot hear you!" they cried. Jesus looked up and down the shore. Then he saw Peter's little boat.
