My Father-1

My father is a raconteur. He used to tells me the stories of Prophet Jonah and Thobith. Thobith is a story of a father and son. But I really confused why he selects these two stories regularly. There are thousands of stories in Bible. Even now I didn’t get the reason or the driving force to tempt him to tell the same stories several times to me. But one thing I am sure I don’t exactly remember what all other stories he had told to me . When I grown I identified both stories are related to the same people from Nineveh. And also in Jonah’s story the fish swallowed the prophet. In Thobith’s story he captured the fish which came to shore to swallow him. What it really means? Is it the reason my father had selected these stories?
