The longest river in Africa

One day, Jozen and his little brother helped their father wash the car. For the two boys, the most exciting part was when the water was poured to rinse off the soap. They loved the splashing water and looked forward to that moment.

As the water dripped down the car, it created a small stream that resembled a river. Jozen's eyes widened with excitement. "Look, Daddy, you've made a river!" he exclaimed.

His father smiled. "Yes, it does look like a river. Do you know the longest river in Africa?"

Jozen thought for a moment, while his little brother continued to gaze at the tiny river.

"No, Daddy," Jozen replied.

"The longest river in Africa is the River Nile," his father said, making the final splash of water on the car.

"How long is it?" Jozen asked, with his eyes widened. "Is it as long as our river?"

His father chuckled. "Oh no, the River Nile is much, much longer. It flows through 11 countries! Can you imagine how long that is?"

Jozen's eyes grew wide. "That seems very long!" His little brother was still captivated by the water flowing in the tiny river.

"You know, God made all the rivers and the entire world in just six days," his father continued.

Jozen's eyes lit up with wonder. "Really? How did He do it?"

His father smiled. "Well, on the first day, God made Light.

On the second day, He made the sky.

On the third day, He made the land, seas, and plants.

On the fourth day, He made the sun, moon, and stars.

On the fifth day, He made the animals that live in the water.

On the sixth day, He made the animals that live on land and people.

And then, on the seventh day, He rested."

Jozen's eyes were filled with awe. "Wow, how did God do all that?"

His father's face shone with a gentle smile. "That's a wonderful question, Jozen. God is all-powerful. That's why we always pray to Him."

The End!
