             Jesus got into the boat.  His followers were with him.  A great storm came on the 

  lake.  Jesus was asleep.

             His followers said, "Lord, save us! We're going to die!"

             Jesus said, "Why are you afraid?"

            He spoke to the wind  and it stopped blowing.  He spoke to the water and it 

 became still.
