   Read the story and answer the questions that follow.

   They had been walking for days in hope of seeing a miracle by him. They were tired and hungry. "How are we going to feed all of these people?" one of the apostles asked Jesus. "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish." But Jesus said that God could make anything possible. He asked the apostles to make everyone sit down. He took the bread and fish, looked up to heaven and divided them to feed over 5,000 people-and they still had some left over! Early Christians used a fish symbol to identify each other. More recently you will still see the fish symbol as a sign of faith on clothing, jewellery, stickers, other things.
