The second tree wished that it would one day end up serving as a large mast of a galley, on which Generals and navigators would sail the seas, win battles and see all the sailors gathered around her to celebrate one naval victory after another. Sadly this was not to be as the wood from this tree ended up in Bethsaida, and was used to build a fishing boat to be used by two fishermen, the brothers Peter and Andrew. They used it for many years in the Sea of Galilee, with other fishermen helping them haul large quantities of fish. There were days when the fish were not biting, and were left disappointed. The tree complained that it ended up in a simple fishing village, until one day, a man stepped into the boat, and during a storm, he quickly calmed the waves. On another day, he invited the fisherman to fish in a different part of the bay, and were overloaded with large fish. Frequently people would gather around the boat to hear Him speak to them. The tree realized that instead of Kings, Generals and navigators, the boat welcomed on board Someone more special than all the kings of the world.
