    Jesus’ team came back.
    They told him about their trips.
    Then lots of people came.
    There was lots to do.
    Everyone was tired.
    Nobody ate properly.
    So Jesus took his team away.
    They went somewhere quiet in a boat.
    A huge crowd ran after them.
    Jesus saw how lost people felt.
    Their leaders were useless.
    Jesus was different.
    He felt sorry for them.
    He talked to them for the rest of the day.
    He told them all about his good kingdom.
    Leaders can fail us.
    We can feel lost.
    Jesus will not fail us.
    He can give hope.
