When it was known that Jonah and his disobedience had been the reason of the storm, he was thrown overboard and swallowed by a great big whale. Jonah survived for 3 days and 3 nights, on the last night the whale threw him up and Jonah was given another opportunity to preach the word of God in Nineveh. So Jonah preached and he told the people of Nineveh that if they did not turn their ways around God would destroy the city in 40 days. After the people turned their ways God spared the city, and Jonah was angry for he feared being seen as a false prophet.
