About this story
After leaving Elim, Moses and the families travel into the wilderness. They are hungry and afraid. God hears them: quail arrive in the evening and the next morning brings tiny pale flakes called manna. The people gather according to need, prepare a double portion on the sixth day and make room for the seventh-day Sabbath. In a separate modern family story, Eli worries about having enough food. Mum listens, helps him and Maya plan a shared snack, and they enjoy a little rest together. This 29-page digital edition includes 14 illustrated story pages, seven questions, My Little Caring Plan, a prayer and two activities: A Basket for Everyone and Our Resting Picture. Two pages of grown-up guidance explain the selected retelling, practical care for hunger and the distinction between Sabbath and an everyday pause. Adults provide food and safe preparation; children should never gather or taste unknown things from the ground. The PDF preserves the square layout, and the EPUB requires a reader supporting EPUB 3 fixed layout.
