I've been watching Abba's friends John and James do it.

I bet you this time I can get three.

I thought I got two, but pretty sure my rock just broke in half.

What do you think is on the other side of the Sea of Galilee?

I don't want to think about it.

I'll bet it's like a different world over there.

With waterfalls, and wild kittens, and a waterfall made of kittens.

I heard there's a saber-toothed camel that swallows goats whole.

Goats.

Maybe there's a little town full of snacks, and they're all free.

- When you're an animal, everything's free. - Oh, really?

Ow!

Free nest material.

My abba says I'm not old enough to go out to sea.

If I was, I'd take that thing out right now.

Ow!

I bet there's a volcano,

and it blows every day, unless you throw a bird into it.

Anyone else feel like that's oddly specific and-- mm-- personal?

My brother Jared told me there's a monster over there,

who swims over here to scare kids when they don't do his chores.

The monster's chores?

No, silly. Jared's.

I gotta know what's over there.

I got three!

I think. It's getting harder to see.

Well, it's getting dark, so we have to go home.

Plus, I haven't finished my chores, Jared's chores, I've got homework...

Can't you stay a little longer? I want to see if I can get four.

No, and neither can you.

Rules are rules.

Whoa, what's your record?

Oh, I don't know. Syria?

Ah! Just in time. I was about to close for the night.

Oh. Ha, ha.

- You're supposed to be back by sundown. - Yes. But why?

Have you seen the key to my fish hook box?

- You off to go night fishing again? - Yes. Do you know where the key is?

No. Do you know what's across the Sea of Galilee?

What? Sorry, I just need to find...

I was already supposed to be at work. But maybe I left it in...

But you've seen it, right?

The other side? Sure. It's more of the same. Dirt, trees.

Well, maybe you haven't seen all of the other side.

That's the truth. It's actually less of the same.

- Hannah? - Did you check around your neck?

I swear she's known that for the last 20 minutes.

Love you, bye.

Couldn't I go out on the little boat and see it for myself?

I'm strong enough now. I skipped a rock seven times.

Give or take four times.

Sorry, you know the rule. Not allowed. Bye.

Snooze.

- Be back for lunch. - Okay.

I can't believe I have to just stay here forever

and wonder what is on the other side.

And they can't give me one good reason why I can't go see it.

Do you think there really are monsters and volcanoes over there?

I bet it's both.

Plus unicorns.

I keep telling her I need fiber, but it's like she's ignoring me.

Or perhaps she just speaks a different species, friend.

Whoops!

My rock fell into that boat.

All right, I see what you did there.

What am I going to do?

I bet it's something morally questionable.

- Rope is made of fibers. - Mm-mm. That's not the same thing.

How can one word mean two things? Dumb.

- Well, I can't grab it from here. - Leave it.

- Abba said I can't take the boat out. - That's right. Let's go back.

But nothing about just standing in it.

Humans are just... just amazing at justifying bad behavior.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Aha!

I rescued my rock.

This tastes like I'm choking.

Uh...

Guys?

What?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Sheep, we're gonna be in so much trouble.

Wait, I know what to do.

It's okay, I'll be back at the dock any second.

See, I'm strong enough to row.

In circles.

And row.

And row.

And row.

And row.

No!

This is harder than it looked. The boat is so heavy.

It'll be lighter once this rope kicks in.

No matter how much I row,

the wind keeps blowing us farther to the...

other side!

Abba was right.

It's just more of the same.

- No! - Now the boat's lighter.

No.

I should've believed my Abba about everything.

Now I'm lost.

Huh?

And apparently hungry.

Huh.

I'm not giving up now. There's still something else we can try.

First, stop looking at me like that.

Fiber.

Second, help me row.

I am strong.

Whoa!

Oh...

Blessed are you, Lord our God.

Sorry I kicked that rock in here.

I did it because I wanted to get in the boat,

even though I knew I shouldn't.

Please help me.

Really? Skipping stones at a time like this?

And I trust in you.

And I promise, I'll tell my parents what I did.

That's always a good thing to do.

Are you standing on the water?

Mm. Not today.

Oh, thank you, God.

We're back.

Mm!

You really shouldn't be out there by yourself.

So I've been told.

And you didn't believe who told you?

I wanted to be told better reasons why I shouldn't.

Ah. Why did you want to go out there?

To see what was on the other side.

And what did you find?

Nothing. Dirt and trees. Just what my Abba said would be there.

And what else?

Nothing.

A whole lot of nothing.

What you found on the other side was that you could trust your Abba.

You are bright and inquisitive, both very good attributes.

And quite strong.

Look at those muscles.

But your parents' life experience is also strong.

They want to keep you safe.

And trusting in their rules

means believing that they may know something you don't.

Hey! Pretty crazy that my boat landed right where you were walking.

What are the chances, huh?

Abba!

Mm!

Uh...

Listen, I have to tell you something, and I'm so sorry.

I was kicking a rock on purpose near the little...

- Huh? Sheep! - Huh?

Give that to me.

How many times have I told you?

I'm just trying to keep you safe.

Oh!

- Huh? - Have some prunes, you grumpy thing.

Well, if I can't get any fiber, this'll have to do.

I apologize in advance.

So, you made it to the other side of Galilee,

but you didn't tell me what you saw.

Nothing. No volcanoes, no unicorns.

Well, it inspired your imagination, and that's worth something.

When I was your age, I liked to think that there was

a river made of grape juice there.

And if I ever found it, I would drink and swim at the same time.

Okay, okay, that's ridiculous.

Oh, really?

Then I'd better not tell you about my idea

of trees that had chickens growing on them.

Careful, don't make me laugh.

Seriously.
