I walked to the hillside one day to hear a rabbi named Jesus preach. He was wonderful and I learned a lot from him, but eventually it got late in the day and I hadn't eaten yet, so I took out my sack lunch. I was about to bite into my food when I saw Jesus talking with his followers. I had a sudden feeling they were talking about feeding the people that had gathered here. I had no idea how they would feed them, so I walked up and showed them my sack lunch.
"We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish." they said to Jesus, continuing the conversation that was happening before I got to them.
"Bring the fish to me." Jesus said. He also told the multitude to sit down. Then I walked up to Jesus and gave him the food inside my basket, five loaves and two fish. Then Jesus blessed the food and gave them to the disciples to distribute. I couldn't believe how much was coming out of my little basket of food. It was definitely a lot more than what I had in the first place. In fact, there were twelve baskets of food left over. My five loaves and two fish fed about 5,000 families. Man I have a story to tell.
