The Wonderful Tilapia

Wording of this Handout:

---

The tilapia starts to get ready for breeding by first making a 'nest'. The male tilapia sucks and spits until it has shifted sand and stones away from the place it wants to breed. It makes a series of circles, which stand out quite well like a target.
The female comes along and sees the circles. ("Mmm nice circles!" she thinks, "This boy must have talent!")
When he sees the female admiring his art work, along comes the 'boy' and he flirts with her by flashing his beautiful sides at her.
After mating the eggs are laid, and then comes the AMAZING SECRET!
The female gathers the eggs into her mouth and keeps them there until the eggs hatch the and the baby fish are ready to swim away.
How's that for self control! The mother may be hungry, but she knows not to eat all that yummy food in her mouth.
The young tilapia are safe unless they swim away too soon, in which case another tilapia will eat them.
When God designed the tilapia fish, He built into it the wisdom to know the difference between food and babies.
