[Song] “Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life. Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life.”
Hello, my name is Miss Barb! Welcome to Lifeline English, the podcast that helps you know God and know English.
You can read the written script for today’s lesson online at lifelineenglish.com.
Today I want to teach you two more words.
The first word is care. To care means to love someone or something. To care also means to be interested in something. The man cared for his sick dog. He loved his dog and gave it medicine and good food. Mothers care for their children, even after their children are adults. They worry about their children and pray for their children. I don’t care whether you eat chicken or fish. That means, you can eat either chicken or fish. I am not concerned which meat you choose.
The second word is worm. Can you say worm? It rhymes with “firm” and “germ”. A worm is a small, long, thin animal with no arms or legs. It is like a snake, but smaller, and it has no bones. It does not bite with poison like a snake. People often put worms on a hook to catch fish.
In our last story, Jonah was sitting to the east of Nineveh. God made a plant grow up over Jonah’s head. The plant gave shade to Jonah. It protected him from the sun. Jonah was very happy. But then…

Do you remember what a “verb” is? A verb is the part of the sentence that tells about an action or a state of being. Every sentence must have a verb. I will tell the story again. This time, I will pause before each verb. See if you can remember the verb before I say it. Ready? Here we go!
The next morning God... sent a worm. The worm... killed the plant. When the sun... came up, God... sent a hot wind. The sun… beat down on Jonah’s head. Jonah… became very weak. He... begged, “I... want to... die, not... live.”
But God... said, “... Are you right to … be angry about the plant?”
Jonah... said, “Yes! I’m so angry I… want to... die!”
God... said, “You... cared about the plant. You did not … work to … make the plant... grow. The plant … grew in one night and … died in one night. Shouldn’t I … care for Nineveh, the big city? More than 120,000 people … live here. They don’t … know what to … do. Many animals… live here too.”
Wow, this story has a lot of verbs!
What do you think that Jonah did next? The Bible does not tell us. The story ends here.
How many people live in your city? Does God care about them? Do you care about them? Will you tell them God’s message so that they will not be destroyed?
I would love to receive a message from you. You can write me. Go to our website, lifelineenglish.com.
Until next time, may Jesus help you know Him and know English. Good bye!
