Jesus got into a boat with His disciples. Jesus fell asleep. Then a big storm came. Waves splashed into the boat!

The disciples were scared. They woke Jesus up. "Save us, Lord!" they cried.

Jesus stood up. He spoke to the wind and the sea. Everything became very calm. The disciples were amazed. Even the wind and the sea obey Jesus!
