I could not have got out of trouble by inventing some convenient and completely believable lie, but you know I'm not like that. Okay, maybe you don't know I'm not like that, but it's true. I could have died. I could have been stranded on a galaxy a gazillion light years away from here. Worst of all, I could have been married. Anyway, this is my story.

  From the snake in the Garden of Eden to the lost sheep in Luke'             s parable, stories about fish and birds, rams and goats abound. We read about them, but they have no voice of their own.                Here we allow the raven and the dove on Noah'             s ark, the big fish that swallowed Jonah, and the donkey on which Balaam rode, to be the narrators of their own stories, to inform us and help us to re-imagine our stories. We learn something about the intrinsic value of all living beings, and something about ourselves.
