      One day, Jesus taught God's words at a place far away from towns, A large crowd followed him and listened to his teaching. By the time when sun was set, Jesus knew that all the people were hungry, and called his disciples to get food. 

      Then, Philip, one of his disciples, said. 

      "For everyone to have even a little, it would require more than annual fee to buy enough bread. Although we have money for it, we cannot find any place to get it."

      Another one of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, ran out and brought food. 

      "Lord, Here is the lunchbox that a boy got." 

      There were two fish and five loaves of barley bread. Jesus took the bread and fish, gave thanks to God, and said. 

      "Make the people sit down in circle, and give it to them," 

      So all the people sat down. There were five thousand men.

      Then, there was no too little bread and fish. The hungry people ate the bread and fish, as much as they wanted, that Jesus's disciples gave.

      When they were all full, Jesus said to his disciples. 

      "Gather the pieces left over and let us not waste a bit." 

      So they gathered them all and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left over from the five loaves of barley bread and two fish that the people had eaten. 

      Five thousand men gathered there, except women and children. 

      (Matthew 14:12-21, Mark 6:30-44, Luke 9:10-17, John 6:1-13)
